Funeral

Ambrose died in Knowsley Village, Lancashire, aged 67. At the service, at St Mary's Church, Knowsley village, near Liverpool, Brookside's Phil Redmond and actor John Burgess gave a eulogy. "There is no doubt that old Gladys had a spirit that was very difficult to beat", Redmond said. "It's great to share her last bill and it's standing room only and not a dry eye in the house. We'll miss her will, that spirit of inspiration, and her sense of professionalism. She was a lovely woman."
