Moving scenes as Jack bows out of Coronation Street

JACK DUCKWORTH was finally reunited with his beloved Vera in moving scenes last night as he bowed out of Coronation Street after 30 years.

The soap stalwart, played by Bill Tarmey, died peacefully in the same armchair in which his wife passed away three years ago – and as he drifted in and out of consciousness she “appeared” at his side.

And just as she did in life, Vera (Liz Dawn) chastised him for his scruffy appearance. Then the couple had one final dance to the Matt Monro song Softly As I Leave You.
