Piccadilly AV Manchester were asked by Granada TV to provide video and sound relay for the crowds at the memorial service for Betty Driver.
The veteran Coronation Street star passed away earlier this month at the age of 91 and many of her former co-stars were among the mourners at her memorial service at the city’s St Ann’s Church.
The funeral was screened for fans outside the church, at Driver’s request, and she also asked for the service to take place on a Saturday so her colleagues would not miss a day of filming.
A recording of Betty Driver singing The World Will Sing Again was also played to the congregation and was met with a standing ovation.
