The tribute was narrated by Katherine Kelly, who played Coronation Street's Becky McDonald. It included some of the current Corrie cast sharing their memories of working with Jean, and also included Jean's brother and his family sharing their personal memories too.
Here are some images from the programme which aired in the UK last night. You can also view it on the ITV Hub.
I do hope ITV and ITV Shiver make the programme available for overseas fans too.

Brilliant! X
An excellent tribute - well done to all involved.
You've said you hope it becomes available to overseas viewers. It is, at least, being shown on CBC on the 28th December. Canadian fans should definitely tune in!
Superb!
The scene with Stan's glasses made me cry all over again. Wonderful actress, and real emotion from the cast members featured in the tribute.
Good News. On CBC in Canada after Christmas.

Excellent programme. And it was great seeing some old favourite characters too!
The recreation of the Ogden's living room was sublime. Sally's reaction was wonderful when she saw it. A fantastic tribute with both laughter and tears.
Absolutely wonderful. We enjoyed every minute.So beautifully done and there was real warmth to the programme. So sadly missed. We used to see her in Southport quite often, so ordinary and lovely. XXX
I've been watching again an old video tape called the Women of Coronation Street, made late 90s. Betty visits Hilda and they reminisce with some brilliant clips. Great viewing, I don't know if it's on DVD but well worth a look on eBay.
