Stars of Corrie turned out on Friday to join hundreds of other mourners at the funeral of Martyn Hett, the social media star and Corrie superfan who has become an icon.
Martyn, 29, was one of 22 people to die in the Manchester bombings, as he watched Ariana Grande perform.
Martyn, who had a Deirdre Barlow tattoo on his leg, adored Corrie and regularly chatted about it on social media.
Kym Marsh, Helen Worth, Anthony Cotton, Jenny McAlpine, Faye Brooks and Corrie producer Kate Oates all attended the funeral. Martyn even had a Coronation Street-themed coffin.
Jennie, who plays Fiz, posted on Twitter that she was wearing a badge emblazoned with the hashtag #bemoremartyn – a sentiment intended to pay homage to the positive, enthusiastic way that Martyn had lived his life.
