Mike Reid's coffin was taken into the church as his hit single, The Ugly Duckling, played.

Do you think everyone had to stand at individual positions in different aisles and when the vicar said "G-G-G-Go!!!!!!!!!! they all ran to the front of the church to read an eulogy?

In the paper June Brown (Dot) looked very upset but Barbara Windsor looked like she was at a party with a huge smile on her face. she reminds me of those women who get to their late fifties then cackle really loudly in bars to draw attention to themselves.

Late fifties? She'll love you - she's just turned 70!

I know she is 70 but she looks really well and in better condition than some people a lot younger than her. I just wish she wouldn't wear that ridiculous wig .

Try 80 for June Brown, folks.

I think June Brown is marvellous for 80 - and I was gobsmacked when I heard Liz Smith (Nana from The Royle Family) is 85.
