She was a iconic bbc actress. She was simply lovely.
RIP
Iconic? She turned up for Eastenders. 🙄
@@stevenhearnden66 Everyone who likes Brit comedy knew who she was, that's iconic. I think your thinking of ironic which is how you feel after getting slapped by Will Smith
@@peanutbutterdragon4105 haha
Peanut butter …well said , she will be sadly missed 👍fantastic actress ..
Rest in peace June Brown. Job well done in life and career. You took a small role as a meddlesome gossip and turned it into an iconic and much loved character.
Rip Dot
About sums up the mentality of the middle aged women that watch that tripe.....
Hello, Liz How are you doing?
Troll on board, don't feed it.
@@yossarianreborn2904 I am going to treat your comment with the contempt it deserves. Enjoy your day troll.
I thought she'd outlive us all. National treasure personified 😥
Apparently every cigarette that entered her mouth felt like a thin carrot stick.
@@britturk123 for a woman that smoked she lived a fairly long life
@@lilparanoid1 Indeed Ms Brown had some great genetics.
@Grammar King I smoke and I’m 18 but currently trying to give up
@Hidden Movies smoking is bad for you whether you like it or not. Just because a few smokers live into their 90s, this is not true for the majority.
Sad news. R.I.P June Brown.
You were, and will always be, a legend to many of us.
Xx
I organised a Christmas party for homeless families when I worked in Camden council and wrote to bbc and asked the letter to be distributed to everyone on their payroll. The only ones to donate anything were graham Norton, Fiona Bruce and the lovely June brown. Thank you June for the lovely gifts you bought for these kids xx
Bless this beautiful lady!!!! What a career, she is a diamond
A Diamond amongst Jewels...and she certainly had enough jewels in her crown!!
Rest In Peace June Brown
WOW!!! Damn she looked good for her age and she lived a good life. Rest in peace June.
About 8 years ago I used to drive June to Central London from her home now and again, on one occasion I had to drop some paper work off to her home, she asked me to come in and while I was waiting, I saw a picture of her from years ago when she worked in theatre, honestly she was unbelievably beautiful like real film star looks, June was a wonderful lady, very sad she has past...
R.I.P

RIP Dot Cotton. Loved watching her in eastenders since the 80s
June was the only reason why I watched Eastenders as long as I did! Sleep tight sweet lady R.I.P. 💔
Rip DOT..
I haven’t watched East Ended in a long time. But Dot is so iconic figure in East Enders and grew up as teen watching her in it.
I always recognized her when my Mum started watching Eastenders at dinner. Rest in Piece June Brown.
I met June when she was doing Callendar Girls, every day in theatre.
I've met hundreds of celebs.
June was generous and genuinely nice. She was old school. God bless.
RIP June Brown she was a great actress, so lovely and talented
My condolences to her family 🙏
DAMN SHE WAS STILL ALIVE, blooming heck, I was just a wee baby admiring her work. RIP queen.
She will be missed, loved her characterization of Dot.....a life well done Ma'am! May you rest in peace
All those years having to sit through mum watching eastenders, June always looked like she was about to retire.
But still. RIP, well earned rest.
Awwwww God bless her loved ones and all us fans. She was such a precious woman!

@@babblo1389 Get off the vodka, Ruski troll.
Very sad. She was a phenomenal actress. RIP June, you'll be missed by many.
This lady was an excellent actress. Famous for much more than the 'Dot character'.

@@babblo1389 don't be such a troll. It's getting boring now.
95! A life well lived. Brilliant character in EastEnders. RIP ♥️
Even here in America, we loved June Brown....they've been showing East Enders from the beginning here in the US, and it survived all these years meanwhile Coronation Street lasted only 2 or 3 seasons. It was a weekend show on PBS (Public Broadcasting Station a mostly commercialless [No adverts] station and is run on donations & telethons. Loved June & also the late Wendy Richard (we saw Are you being Served here in the states too)
RIP June 🙏🏼 so many of us grew up watching “Dot” no doubt you’ll be remembered by many.
I’ve always admired June Brown. Especially for her performance as Dot cotton in EastEnders. A true legend. Britain’s national treasure. RIP June. ❤️🙏🏾
Aww that is really sad. She was a good actress. Loved Dot Cotton, she was the best one in EastEnders. RIP June/Dot 🙏🙏
June brown played the greatest dot cotton character very well. She was a legend character. Rest in peace June brown.
Such a legend will cherish the time I met you, yr laugh yr smile , the way you held yr cigarette eastenders will never be the same .The nations favourite today tomorrow and forever always in my heart RIP ❤😢❤

East Enders will never be the same without June Brown. She was there from the onset, in 1985 when the program was first aired.🎭
Rest In Peace Dot Cotton. An absolute legend!!

Hello, Michelle How are you doing?
@@babblo1389 Get off the vodka, Ruski troll.
Obviously very sad but she certainly lived to a great age .I had the pleasure of meeting her once in Dublin 25 plus years ago and she was everything that I expected. Lovely lady a true professional 👏.
I know June Brown had passed away on 3rd of April but im gonna to miss her in EastEnders as Dot Cotton so R.I.P JUNE BROWN (AKA DOT COTTON) we all going to miss you so much😭
This is the new Prison tv UK, I have uploaded the best UK Prison footage from inside our Jails. more vids to come 😎 And RIP Dot you LEGEND 🙏
Im eating marmite out of the jar with a spoon i love it
As An American, Who Grew Up Watching Eastenders On PBS, June's Portrayal Of Dot Was Epic!! She Will Surely Be Missed, Even On This Side Of The Pond!
You guys had eastenders in America !!???
How did you understand what they were saying? When I lived in America I was baffled by the way they couldn't understand anythng that English people said.
@@floydlawton5072yes but they're like 10 years behind tho
@@beryla4979 ohhhhh okay, wow suprised
It aired up to date on BBC America back in the late 90s, early 2000s. That's when i got hooked. Its not that hard to understand what's being said. Some accents are harder than others to understand as are some slang words but its not that bad.
She did have one of the best characters ever on the tv eve though, didn't she. R.I.P June
She lived a very long life, longer than most even though she was an avid smoker.
@@babblo1389 Get off the vodka, Ruski troll.
I was only able to ever see East Enders for a few years before BBC America stopped airing it. My heart was broken when it stopped airing here and I'm terribly heartbroken to hear of June's death. She was just so wonderful.
Much love June, prayers for her family and all who loved her. Thanks for the memories.
RIP.
Don't worry. After 2010 it all goes downhill then by 2018 its unwatchable.
Our national treasure. I loved June as Dot in EastEnders. It will be a sad day when her character passes in the show.
RIP June 🙏
"' ohhh I say '"" what sad news, a wonderful, talented lady who even though she was 95, she never really seemed to age. God bless and condolences to her family and her second family at EastEnders.
I was having a cigarette when I heard the news. It’s what she would’ve wanted! What an absolute treasure she was. RIP June 🤍
She was a great actress '' before the year DOT "" She was, a great STAGE actress before EAST . ENDERS... RIP JUNE ❤️🙏🏼❤️
I'm a South African in China and never saw East Enders, but I fell in love with June Brown in her appearance on the Graham Norton show with Lady Gaga. Immediately fell in love with her... Immediately. Felt like a mother figure to all of us.
Rest in peace such kind beautiful actress ❤️❤️💖 June brown
Rest In Peace. I was just thinking about her on sunday. Incredible woman ❤️
I lost access to the Eastenders soap in 2021.😢 I miss it so much. June Brown as Dot was one of my favorite characters. RIP June.😢
It’s on BritBox
In 1971 she was due to play Tom Hedden's wife in Straw Dogs. I've heard that Sam Peckinpah wasn't too impressed with her acting skills, so she was dropped.
She did play the role of Dot Cotton very well. R.I.P ♥
Interesting *Strawdogs* info.. I don’t think Tom has a wife in that movie; or maybe I blinked and missed her. 🤔
R.I.P ICONIC LADY. 🙏
June Brown 1927-2022.
We know she had a long life, but let’s face it...
Eastenders Without Dot is like..
“London Without the Big Ben.”
RIP TV Legend!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
