It’s a sad day in Ambridge at Peggy’s funeral. Tony admires the roses in the church and reminisces with Helen about his mum. Tearful Kate doesn’t know how she’ll get through the day. As Henry steps away to take his position as a coffin bearer, Lilian assures them they’ll all get through today together. After Alan’s opening address and a reading from Lilian, Tony talks about Peggy’s qualities; he didn’t always have an easy relationship with his mum, but she was the strongest woman he’s ever known.
At the wake in the Bull, Alan is thanked for stepping in to officiate so ably at such short notice. Tom observes the Bull’s come a long way since Peggy was landlady. Alan thinks it’s nice that Lilian’s keeping the family connection going. Lilian supposes it’s in her blood. She spots Hazel across the room and heads off to have a word. Alan comments he was surprised to see Hilda at the service. Tom declares Henry’s done brilliantly today and Helen agrees; she’s proud of her son. Lilian confesses her abiding memory of her mum and Jack Woolley is of them dancing together at the Tower Ballroom in Blackpool to Love is the Sweetest Thing.
Kate admits to Phoebe she’s glad Alan ended up doing the funeral. Perhaps it’s what the universe intended. It’s hard to picture life without her gran. She has memories, but no more grandparents now. Phoebe then produces a scan photo – Kate will soon be a grandparent herself. Delighted Kate declares this the best news ever.
