I've only been watching the series for around 7 years now but Deirdre was always one of the highlights of the program, she was funny but very lovable and I'm going to miss no longer seeing her on screen anymore. R.I.P Anne.

A very good tribute which warmed our harts of memories but gave us tears of joy from fall outs to lovely and funny Deirdre that she was in the Barlow household to the cobbles on the streets. Anne Loved by the nation who are as sad as the corrie cast and crew.
