Jack's final appearance
In a sad but peaceful ending to his long association with Coronation Street the character of Jack Duckworth, played by William Tarmey, died in his sleep last week, shortly after attending his own 74th birthday party at the Rovers Return.
In a special edition of the programme dedicated to the character, viewers were reminded of the highs and lows of Jack’s life in the Street following his passing away.
It was amusing to see Jack dressed as a woman in order to play bowls and Vera catching him out as the femme fatale he had arranged to meet through a classified dating advert.
On Thursday this week Jack is finally laid to rest, so expect a big gathering of cast members as they attend the funeral to pay their last respects.
Jack’s ’surrogate’ son Tyrone moves the congregation with a heartfelt and emotional speech about how he had come to look upon Jack as his own father.
A fitting tribute to mark the end of another era in the long running soap.
