Fans across the world have been left heartbroken as the cast of Derry Girls bid farewell to the hilarious, family-centred sitcom set during The Troubles.

Fans of the show were left distraught as the reality of the series finishing for good sunk in.
One person wrote: “Noooo one more season and a movie please.”
A second said: “I hope it's not the last time we see these awesome characters. Maybe a final film to say farewell?
Sorry for being greedy but I love these characters so much.”
While a third said: “Nicola u can’t do this to me”.
However, some believed it was time for those involved in the show to move on as their careers took flight.
They said: “Nicola you are now on your way to bigger and greater things all the very best pet you deserve it. It may not be easy but you will surely make it god bless”.
