EastEnders bosses have announced plans to pay tribute to the late June Brown in an upcoming storyline.

Fans can expect "an emotional goodbye" to June's iconic soap character, when news reaches Albert Square that Dot Branning has sadly passed away.

Dot has been living in Ireland since early 2020, but in scenes airing this winter, her funeral will take place in Walford as per her final wishes.

Friends and family of Dot will gather to say their goodbyes at the service, which has been described as "the send-off she so very well deserves".

In real life, June Brown passed away in April 2022 at the age of 95. Her final appearance in the role of Dot had aired in January 2020.

Speaking about EastEnders' emotional new 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.

"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."

"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.
