SHOCKING NEWS!!! EastEnders: Jay pays heartbreaking tribute to Lola and fans are in tears

Fans of EastEnders were left misty-eyed last night, as Jay and the residents of Walford held a fundraiser

for the late Lola Brown.

In an evening of fun and bawdy magic tricks (thanks to Big Mo and Stevie) Lola’s friends and family

staged a talent show to raise money for charity. And, as the night ended, Jay took to the stage to perform

a tribute to his late wife.

Jay takes to the stage

Seated with a guitar and with a video of Lola playing in the background, Jay sang Wonderful Tonight, by Eric Clapton. The song held special relevance, as it was one he had once sung to her while she was ill, during their trip to the beach.

There wasn’t a dry eye in the house – nor in viewers’ homes either, as it turned out.
