Peggy Mitchell is back in Albert Square, and she's ready to say her last goodbye in a new EastEnders trailer.
The soap legend strolls through the famous set, soundtracked by The Kills' 'The Last Goodbye', and comes face-to-face with her two sons Phil and Grant in the clip unveiled this evening (May 5).
Barbara Windsor is returning to the soap as Peggy for the final time next week, having decided to give her iconic character a fitting send-off.

Current executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins is overseeing her final episodes before making his own departure from EastEnders.
Speaking earlier this year, Windsor revealed: "Everyone knows I love EastEnders and that will never change. Peggy is a character close to my heart, but I made the decision a while ago that I need to say goodbye to Peggy once and for all as otherwise she will always be there, urging me to go back and that is something I need to shut the door on.

"After thinking long and hard about it, I realised that it is time for me and the audience to say our final farewells to the lady who I have loved for many years and I thought that whilst the guvnor, who I adore, is still in charge I want him to be the one to oversee it. I am grateful that Dominic accepted my decision."
