Coronation Street paid tribute to late star Jean Alexander during Monday night’s show.
The actress, who played the much-loved Hilda Ogden between 1964 and 1987, died last week at the age of 90.
To pay tribute, both episodes of the ITV soap on Monday night were dedicated to her.
At the end of the first instalment, a photo of the actress was shown, with the year of her birth and death.

After leaving the cobbles, Alexander joined the BBC sitcom Last of The Summer Wine as bric-a-brac shop owner Auntie Wainwright, remaining on the programme until 2010.
