Corrie cast join Roache in tribute to ‘perfect wife’

CORONATION Street legend Bill Roache yesterday fought back tears as he paid tribute to his “perfect wife” during her memorial service.

The 76-year-old soap veteran was supported by a string of fellow Corrie actors and stars from the worlds of sport, politics and show business during the hour-long service in Wilmslow, Cheshire.

His wife, Sara, 58, died unexpectedly at their home 10 days ago and was laid to rest yesterday during a private funeral service and cremation.
