Hayley's funeral is filmed

I can hardly bring myself to write this... Coronation Street this week are filming the funeral of Hayley Cropper. 

There are paparazzi pictures in some of the tabloids which show a floral coffin and some of the mourners dressed in red as a tribute to Hayley.  Carla Connor in particular leads the way in a red coat and dress while Sean Tully's in a red velvet suit.

Julie Hesmondhalgh, who plays, sorry, played Hayley on Coronation Street, said on twitter yesterday that Hayley's death wouldn't be the big Christmas storyline on the Street this year, so it looks set to take place in the New Year.

Our blogger Graeme travelled to Weatherfield earlier this week to meet Julie Hesmondhalgh.  He talked to her about Hayley's death on Corrie and we'll be doing a full write-up in due course for the Coronation Street Blog.
