EastEnders actress Lorraine Stanley has revealed a lovely gesture she arranged for a neighbour amid the coronavirus pandemic.
With UK citizens staying at home, the Karen Taylor actress organised a socially distanced sing-along of 'Happy Birthday' for her 95-year-old neighbour.
The star shared the clip yesterday (March 25) of the neighbours belting out the tune from a distance as the elderly man watches from his door.
"So our neighbour, Allen is 95 today," she wrote. "I arranged all of the neighbours at 3.45pm to sing happy birthday to him!!
"You can't see a lot of the people on the street as we were socially distancing but they were all out with banners #corona #socialdistancing #communityspirit".
EastEnders recently received a massive ratings boost amid the coronavirus crisis, with 9.32 million viewers tuning in on Monday (March 23) with an average audience of 6.49 million across the episode.
