Magnificent - ITV tribute to Jean Alexander

What a wonderful tribute it was from ITV last night to the late actress Jean Alexander, who played Hilda Ogden.  Well done to all involved.

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. 

With ex-Corrie writer John Stevenson and ex-archivist and writer Daran Little on board for the documentary too, it was quite a magical mix.

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.

Hilda and Stan's living room was recreated by the current Corrie crew.
