Happy Valley fans 'queue for hours' to visit café where iconic scene was filmed

Happy Valley fans have been flocking to a particular café to follow in the footsteps of the iconic Catherine Cawood after tense scenes in last week's episode.

Viewers tuning into the BBC One show on Sunday were left on the edge of their seats by a showdown between Sergeant Cawood, played by Sarah Lancashire, and her sister Clare, played by Siobhan Finneran. Catherine was heartbroken after discovering that Clare had been going behind her back to take her grandson Ryan to visit his dad, notorious villain Tommy Lee Royce, in prison.

As the shock twist unfolded, fans hailed it as the "best TV scene in years" and piled praise on Sarah Lancashire's "masterclass" performance, calling for the 58-year-old actress to be awarded a Bafta for the role. And the café where it was all filmed has found itself inundated with customers after they discovered they can get a cuppa at the very same table as Catherine and Clare.
