NETFLIX regal drama The Crown has paused filming of the show’s sixth season following the death of Her Majesty the Queen.
Filming had begun for the final season of the programme last month, but has been suspended out of respect.
The Crown has been filmed at several locations across Sussex over the years.
Hollywood actress Helena Bonham Carter, who played Princess Margaret in series three, was pictured in Rye in 2019.
The town transformed for the film shooter, with 1970s shopfronts and vehicles lining the streets.
The old Woolworths became Veitch’s fashion store and an open-fronted greengrocers was created with fresh produce on display.
Part of the show’s fifth season was also shot in the seaside town of Eastbourne, along the town’s seafront and at the Queens Hotel.
The award-winning show’s fifth season is due to be released in November this year, but no official date has been announced.
The Crown’s sixth season had been rumoured to explore the aftermath of Princess Diana and the lives of Princes William and Harry in the early 2000s.
