Meanwhile, Sonia agrees to accompany Bex to the undertakers to say an emotional goodbye beside Martin's coffin.

Both Bex and Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) offer up heartfelt personal tributes to Martin.

However, Sonia finds herself overcome with emotion...

Can she find the words she truly wants to share about her beloved ex-husband?
