EastEnders icon June Brown’s fans bid to erect statue of telly legend
FANS of late EastEnders star June Brown say bosses should honour her with a statue.
She played chain-smoking Dot Cotton for 35 years.
Following June’s death aged 95 on Sunday, devotees believe she should be immortalised at Elstree Studios, Herts.
One tweeted: “June deserves a statue. She lived through millions of cigs and Christmas deaths. What a hero.”
Another added: “What a great idea. Let’s do this, BBC.”
And on a show forum a fan wrote: “June brought so much joy to so many. It would be nice if they erected a statue of her.”
