SPOILER ALERT! VJ Patterson breaks down as Martin 'Ash' Ashford holds urn at beach funeral for MAJOR Home And Away character after she is KILLED OFF
It was rumoured that Billie Ashford may soon be killed off by Home And Away producers after tearful friends were seen kneeling at a memorial.
And now photographs have emerged that show mourners at an intimate beachside funeral for the popular character, who is played by Tessa De Josselin.
Billie's older brother Ash (George Mason) looked devastated as he walked along the beach holding an urn during filming at Sydney's Palm Beach on Monday.
It appears as though Billie lived long enough to give birth to her baby as her on-off boyfriend VJ Patterson (Matt Little) was seen cradling a newborn during the vigil.
VJ had an emotional moment with his mother, Leah Patterson (Ada Nicodemou), and they were seen embracing during a deep chat with Ash.
They were seen gathering at a shrine overlooking the surf at Summer Bay while filming scenes on Monday.
A portrait of Billie could be seen at the memorial alongside a surfboard and a flower arrangement.
Billie's former housemate Phoebe Nicholson (Isabella Giovinazzo) looked downcast as she watched the service.
Wearing a short black dress, Phoebe was supported by Pia Miller's character Katarina Chapman during the funeral.
Photographs emerged last week which showed Phoebe mourning her friend's death at a makeshift shrine on the beach.
Flowers were laid at the memorial along with personal notes and pictures of Billie and her boyfriend VJ.
One read: 'Darling Billie, RIP beautiful girl. Surf life forever'.
Another said: 'Beautiful Billie. I'm going to miss your beautiful smiling face in the surf every day. Love Katie.'
Earlier this year, Billie went through a terrifying ordeal when she was attacked and raped by a masked gunman following a night shift at the local gym.
She fell pregnant and it later emerged that she had been assaulted by Irene Roberts' estranged son Mike.
Billie, who is the younger sister of Ash (George Mason) kept the baby, but decided to keep the paternity secret.
She only confided in her housemate Phoebe
The pressure of the secret resulted in Billie jilting her schoolboy boyfriend VJ at the altar.
Photographs released earlier this month show Billie's attacker, Mike, returning to Summer Bay.
He was seen locked in a violent struggle with his estranged mother Irene, played by Lynne McGranger.
