Fans emotional as Clarkson, May and Hammond say goodbye after 22 years together in final Grand Tour trailer
A trailer has been released for The Grand Tour: One For The Road, which will be the final hurrah for Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May.
The trio, who worked together for years on Top Gear before starting The Grand Tour following Clarkson being sacked, are taking one final road trip.
The trailer has left fans in bits, full of emotion at seeing the trio go on their last special together after 22 years.

Viewers were understandably emotional at Clarkson, Hammond and May finally hanging up the keys.
One comment on YouTube said: “The best trio on television.”
While another wrote: “Can’t believe it’s ending, end of an era.”
Someone else appeared to be worried they’ll be in tears at the ending, commenting: "This is going to be a sad ending” with crying emojis."
The end to the trio’s TV partnership has come in part through the dissolving of their joint production company.
On 11 July, the company that produced The Grand Tour filed documents declaring solvency, before making a special order to ‘wind up’.
The final episode of The Grand Tour will come out later this month, on 13 September.
When asked in the past about why the trio was coming to an end, Hammond candidly told Heart Radio: “Because we've been doing it for 136 years.”
Clarkson said he was surprisingly unemotional about the end of the show, as was May, telling PA: "I’m not saying this in a derogatory way by any means but James has the emotions of a stone.
“He just doesn’t do emotions, so there were no tears from him. Hammond, yes.
“I was surprisingly unemotional in a weird way because I can see James and Hammond any time I want to, they’re only a phone call away, and I’m sure we will.
“And I’ve done enough of the travel, I was worn out by it.
"I'm 100% convinced I would have been a lot more emotional without the farm show."
Speaking about the ending of their TV partnership, May said: "In the end we got to the point where we said, ‘No, we must stop whilst we’re still vaguely ahead. We mustn’t keep going until we embarrass ourselves’.
“It’s odd. I have mixed emotions about it. I will miss the adventure and the experiences and the craic and the ‘bantz’ and all that stuff.
“I won’t really miss the stress of it because I’m old now and a bit frail compared with back then. I don’t know what to do next, but it’s a nice thing to look back on and think, ‘we did that’."
