Neighbours bid an emotional goodbye to its UK fans as the final ever episode aired on Channel 5.
There was shock and upset earlier this year when it was announced that the much loved Australian soap was being axed after 37 years on screen, with its British broadcaster Channel 5 pulling the plug to concentrate on homegrown shows and a replacement unable to be found Down Under.
While petitions were set up to try and save Neighbours, these were to no avail as it was then confirmed by bosses that it was definitely ending. And then, ever since its final air dates were confirmed, fans have been counting the days, as well as willing them to slow down as they came to terms with the lunchtime and teatime staple being no more.
