Family

Janette moved to Doncaster and still performs with her husband Robert Baker, Wendy still resides in Liverpool with her husband Colin. Gladys and her husband formed a comedy acrobatic act early in their careers.

Funeral

At the service, at St Mary's Church, Knowsley village, near Liverpool, Brookside's Phil Redmond and actor John Burgess spoke movingly about the star as fellow cast members wept in the chapel.

"There is no doubt that old Gladys had a spirit that was very difficult to beat", Redmond said. "It's great to share her last bill and it's standing room only and not a dry eye in the house. We'll miss her will, that spirit of inspiration, and her sense of professionalism. She was a lovely woman."
