Gail and Martin take David and Sarah to the funeral, along with Nick and Leanne. Deirdre, Blanche, Emily, Ken, Fred, Maud, Rita, Kevin, Sally, Betty, Alma and Mike join the family as Alf is buried. Emily and Ken are annoyed when Blanche condemns Alf for always looking after himself and not the community. The mayor offers Alf's title to Audrey and to become "Mrs Millennium" but she fears it will make her sound ancient.
