This year's London Boat Show will feature a special celebrity appearance from Hugh Bonneville, who will be cutting the ribbon on the brand new Sunseeker 131

It wouldn’t be the London Boat Show without a big-name star cutting the ribbon on a brand new Sunseeker yacht and this year’s show will be no exception, with Downton Abbey actor Hugh Bonneville due to do the honours.

Best known for his role as Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham, Hugh will be appearing at the Excel Centre on Friday (January 8) to unveil the Sunseeker 131 Yacht.
