In Pictures: Maggie Jones's memorial service

The entire cast of Coronation Street celebrated their late co-star Maggie Jones's life and career at a special memorial in Salford this afternoon.

Filming at the Weatherfield soap was suspended to allow Jones's close friends to attend the service, which was held at Salford Cathedral from 2pm.

In December, Jones - who played Corrie comedy legend Blanche Hunt - passed away at the age of 75 following a long battle with illness. Later in the month, she was buried at a "beautiful and dignified" private funeral, attended by close friends and family.
