The royal couple surprise the residents of Albert Square by turning up at a street party.

The episode — to be shown tomorrow — will close with a royal adaptation of the soap’s classic theme written by the original tune’s composer Simon May.

May has written other variations of the tune.

He did one for Julia Smith — one of the show's creators — and another for Barbara Windsor's farewell episode as Peggy Mitchell.

Charles and Camilla filmed the scenes in March on a visit to the Elstree set, where they met the cast and crew.

Executive producer Chris Clenshaw said: "We felt it was only right that we marked this extremely momentous episode with a fitting tribute.

"What better way than to wish them on their way from Albert Square than with a special Jubilee version of our iconic theme tune."
