Just two Coronation Street stars attended Lynne Perrie's funeral which took place on the 5th April 2006.
Helen Worth, who plays Gail Platt in the ITV show, and former Corrie actor Chris Quinten were the only representatives from the soap at the cremation in South Yorkshire.
Chris, who starred as Lynne's son Brian in the long running series, paid his respects to his screen Mum, saying, "She was an absolutely wonderful lass. She just loved life and she loved being in Coronation Street. I could not have picked a better person to have worked with. She was such great fun."
Lynne memorably played factory worker Ivy Tilsley in Corrie from 1979 until 1994. The actress died last month aged 75 after suffering a stroke.
