Linda responded: “Well, we have. The country’s lost… Well, we’ve all lost our nan. She dedicated her entire life to serving us.”

Kathy told them how she was three when Princess Elizabeth became Queen and wished she could remember it.

Kathy, Denise and Linda reminisced over the Platinum Jubilee, remembering how King Charles III and Camilla visited Walford.

Linda told them she was going to Buckingham Palace to pay her respects and Denise agreed to go with her.

She then said she knew where the photo of The Queen could go and placed her next to The Queen Vic statue.

Linda said: “Thank you Ma’am. From all of us.”

Fans were left in tears by the scene, praising the tribute.
