Fans of hit BBC show Peaky Blinders were left 'emotional and heartbroken' after the final series began with a tribute to actress Helen McCrory.
McCrory, who starred as Polly in the post-Great War Birmingham gangster series, passed away from breast cancer last year.
But when the sixth and final series of the show got underway tonight, the death of her character was confirmed and her funeral was filmed in what the lead actor Cillian Murphy had described as a 'real emotion', when they filmed it after the death of the actress herself.
