Recently EastEnders fans were left "bawling" after the funeral of much-loved character Lola Pearce-Brown. The character, who has appeared on the show since 2011, passed away last month after a long battle with brain cancer.
The funeral episode saw Albert Square residents come together to commemorate Lola’s life. Prior to her death, Lola insisted that she didn’t want anyone to be sad when they said goodbye to her and that people should wear something colourful.
During her funeral, Lola’s husband Jay (Jamie Borthwick), daughter Lexi (Isabella Brown) and grandad Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) gave speeches to honour her. In a break from tradition EastEnders ended with the song Forever Young used in place of the show’s theme tune.
