Walford says goodbye to Mel Owen next Monday (December 2) and here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store at the tragic mum’s funeral.
Having made enemies all over the Square, it’s no surprise that the turnout’s low at Mel’s farewell. But ex-husband Ian Beale’s there, leading the mourners, and loyal club employee Billy Mitchell.
Plus a whole load of extras from the market, who have clearly just come along hoping for a free vol au vent at the party afterwards.
