EastEnders fans floored as Ian Beale makes brief appearance at Dot's funeral as return teased

EastEnders fans were left stunned on Monday evening as Ian Beale made a surprise appearance during Dot Cotton’s emotional funeral.

EastEnders aired heartbreaking scenes on the BBC soap, as Dot Cotton was laid to rest in Walford.

BBC viewers heard the soap legend's voice one last time as a recording of the late June Brown before a sombre scene on Albert Square when Dot’s coffin travelled through the soap set on a horse-drawn carriage hearse.
