All the male cast members wore suitably smart suits, with Colson opting for a red blazer over a speckled grey waistcoat.

And Alison King, 46, who plays Carla Connor, looked almost tearful as she sheltered under her hood.

Lisa George, who plays Sinead’s aunt Beth Tinker, wore a faux fur coat underneath her own hood, while Rula Lenska looked characteristically glamorous as she dressed as her character Claudia Colby.

On Friday night, viewers were left in tears when Sinead died from cervical cancer, as the harrowing scenes saw her peacefully slip away with Daniel and their son Bertie at her side.

The scenes for her funeral com amid rumours that Rob’s character could be set to leave the soap following his wife’s death.

Daniel’s departure comes when he gets wrongly accused by Beth (Lisa George) of having an affair with Bethany (Lucy Fallon).

He therefore decides to take Bertie away on holiday to Scotland, with an upset Beth wondering if she will ever see her godson again.

The news comes after Katie McGlynn, 26, who played Sinead, struggled with grief and sought therapy after filming her death

Embattled: The actress revealed that after watching the scenes when Sinead learned she had weeks to live she ‘couldn’t stop crying’

‘The next day I just kept crying. I couldn’t stop. I ended up going to see a counsellor who told me that I was mourning Sinead,’ Katie said.

‘A month later I still feel like I’m really mourning her. It feels like waves of sadness coming over me.’

Katie added that she spoke with a mental health specialist, who suggested she write a letter to Sinead to provide some form of closure.

She added: ‘One minute I’ll be all right, then the next I’m in tears. It might sound weird, but to me Sinead has always been real.’

Katie also admitted that she sometimes hears Sinead’s voice and sees a part of the character when she looks in the mirror.

Sinead Tinker dies in distressing scenes on Coronation Street

As Katie reflected on her final days in Corrie, she openly said it was her idea that Sinead be killed off, to honestly portray the reality that not everyone survives their battle with cancer.

Viewers were distraught on Friday when Sinead lost her battle with cervical cancer, just days after being told that her husband Daniel had cheated on her.

While she decided to forgive Daniel so she could pass away in peace, Sinead’s passing still proved difficult to watch for many viewers, as she quietly slipped away watching her husband read a story to their son Bertie.
