The Knight family gather to remember Gloria (Elizabeth Counsell) next week, in heartbreaking EastEnders scenes.
The mother of George Knight (Colin Salmon) passed away earlier this month after suffering a severe heart attack outside a courtroom.
She had just learnt that her husband Eddie (Christopher Fairbank) had been sent down for the racially motivated murder of George’s biological father Henry.
It had transpired that, after adopting him as part of a baby farming agreement, his birth parents arrived to collect him but Gloria had insisted her husband do whatever was required to keep him.
On her death bed, she made peace with George, and asked him to ensure she was cremated and not buried next to vile Eddie.
However, in upcoming scenes, Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) and Anna Knight (Molly Rainford) break the news that her funeral has already been held without his knowledge and had disrespected her final request.

The two decide to hold a memorial at The Vic to remember their grandmother and Anna leaves a message for their estranged half-brother Junior to join them.
Struggling with his emotions, their dad reaches out to Rufus (Ian Gain) to arrange another illegal fight at the underground boxing club.
On the day of the remembrance, Junior is a no-show and badly beaten from the night before, George goes dizzy and almost collapses.
