Emmerdale's Cain Dingle comes up with an idea to say goodbye to his murdered son Nate Robinson in his own way next week.
Following Tracy Robinson's decision to ban the entire Dingle clan from Nate's send-off, Cain has been furiously trying to get her to change her mind.
But when Sarah Sugden steps in next week, she makes her grandad realise that nobody can stop the family from giving Nate the goodbye he deserves…
"Sarah can see how much her Grumpy is suffering, and she wants to help in any way she can," our source explains. "What she makes him realise is that being banned from the official funeral doesn't mean that the family can’t still say goodbye to Nate – in fact, quite the opposite.

As we know from Dingle patriarch Zak's recent funeral, the rowdy clan isn't exactly known for sticking to tradition – but Nate's send-off is bound to include many heart-warming stories and plenty of free-flowing booze.
