EastEnders has announced Walford legend Dot Cotton will get the send off she deserves in heartbreaking scenes later this year.
The storyline follows the tragic passing of June Brown OBE in April.
Speaking about Dot's emotional storyline, executive producer Chris Clenshaw commented: "Everyone at EastEnders was truly heartbroken when June passed away earlier this year and, for quite a while, no-one could even think about saying goodbye to Dot – an iconic character who will go down in television history and be cherished forever.
"June was always adamant that she never wanted Dot's time to end while she was still with us, but she also knew that EastEnders would rightly say their farewells to Dot when the time was right.
"Sadly that time has come and we are determined to give the audience, who treasured Dot for so many years, the fitting tribute that she so deeply deserves.
"So whilst it will be a very, very sad day in Walford, we will be giving Dot the send-off that she and June would want and rightly deserve." he said.
Dot's funeral will air this winter. More details to follow.
