Won’t be the same without the Crawleys: With the final “Downton Abbey” episode set to air Sunday, fans might want to mark the occasion with a right proper afternoon tea.
Afternoon tea is served with crustless finger sandwiches, scones, biscuits, and, for the true “Downton” fan, a mixture of Hershey’s chocolate syrup and red food coloring, which is then spit all over the dining table.
Los Rollings: The Rolling Stones are slated to play a free concert in Havana, Cuba, on March 25.

Don’t know much about history: On this day in 1877, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was declared the winner of the 1876 presidential election over Democrat Samuel J. Tilden, even though Tilden had won the popular vote.
