Here are just a few of the many tributes being paid to the star today.
Go well across the shining River Thames, June Brown. Icon & Legend. What a joy, pleasure & privilege to write for her. What stories she told, how she made us laugh & cry, stalking the Square on those long legs she was so proud of. What an actress. What a Dame. Rest in Peace. x

June Brown, amongst all her other wonderful human qualities and achievements, will be remembered as a tireless and fearless LGBT ally – especially during the darkest days of HIV/AIDS and Section 28… it was a privilege to know her

RIP June Brown, 95.
A wonderfully talented actress whose long-time portrayal of irascible fag-puffing Dot Cotton in EastEnders was one of the all-time great performances in British Television.
June was such a funny, feisty, fabulous lady off screen too. Very sad news. pic.twitter.com/qhg2qqUdcd— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 4, 2022

And away from her appearances in EastEnders, one moment in particular stood out in many people’s minds, her meeting with Lady Gaga on The Graham Norton Show.
