While Dot Cotton endured a lot of heartbreak in EastEnders, legendary actress June Brown also suffered in her own life.
The much-loved soap star, who sadly passed away at the age of 95 on Sunday night, was rocked by double tragedy in her childhood that changed her life forever.
Born in February 1927 in Needham Market, Suffolk, June was one of five children to parents Louisa Ann and Henry William Melton Brown.
