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.

EastEnders star Barbara Windsor: 'Peggy Mitchell gets the perfect ending - they did me proud'
"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."

If he is then EE is keeping tight-lipped about his upcoming storyline. He might be destined to kill somebody else, or maybe just do something that will make Jane scared of him again, hence the reason why she was looking at him somewhat fearfully.

EastEnders returnee Danniella Westbrook is amongst the cast who have been working on location for Peggy Mitchell's funeral scenes this week.

The actress, who is making a brief comeback as Peggy's daughter Sam for the moving episodes, can be seen paying her respects to her mum. She was spotted filming alongside a young boy - presumably Sam's son Richard.

Sam was last seen exiting Walford with the newborn baby who she fathered with Jack Branning, but the child - who would now be 5 - hasn't been seen on screen since.

Samantha Womack (Ronnie), Scott Maslen (Jack), Rita Simons (Roxy), Harry Reid (Ben), Emma Barton (Honey) and Perry Fenwick (Billy) were among those spotted filming the highly emotional episode at a real-life church.

Last night, viewers saw Peggy given the devastating news that her cancer has spread. She will pass away in heartbreaking scenes next Tuesday (May 17).

Barbara Windsor's final departure from the BBC soap was announced earlier this year, with the actress recently describing her exit as the perfect ending" for Peggy.

Sorry to digress a bit here, but I've just discovered that Barbara Windsor appeared at my theatre (the West Cliff Theatre in Clacton) on Sunday November 21st 1993 at 3.00 and 7.30 pm in "Music Hall with Barbara Windsor"

EastEnders will have fans in tears as the much loved Peggy Mitchell bows out of the soap by taking a fatal overdose to end her battle with terminal cancer.

The Mitchell mother, played for 22 years by Barbara Windsor, will tragically die alone as she takes a cocktail of pills to end the constant pain caused by the illness ripping through her body.

Peggy's last scene in Albert Square was said to be 'incredibly emotional' with executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins hailing the performance of Windsor, 78, as 'stunning'.
