Almost the entire cast will travel to Salford Cathedral on Tuesday to celebrate the life of the star, who played the Street's grocer Alf Roberts for 37 years.

The soap's two longest serving names, William Roache, who plays Ken Barlow and Eileen Derbyshire, who stars as Emily Bishop, will be among the names to address the service.

Comedians Ken Dodd and Bobby Ball will also speak in Mosley's memory and entertainer Syd Little will read a letter from Sir Cliff Richard.

Granada Television have taken the rare step of rescheduling filming to allow all the cast who knew the actor to attend the service, as requested by Mosley's widow Norma and his family.

"The family held a private funeral service but wanted everyone who knew Bryan to be able to celebrate his life in this way", said a Granada spokeswoman.

Mosley, who had a history of heart trouble, died after collapsing in the Street in Shipley less than six weeks after his retirement from the programme. He was 67.

Robbie and Corrs star spotted on date

Robbie's love life gets more complicated

Pop idols Robbie Williams and Andrea Corr sparked rumours of a romance when they were spotted on a date in Dublin.

The young stars spent Thursday afternoon together at a pub in the Irish where they enjoyed a seafood meal.

The night before they met at Reynard's Club, but left separately.

Reports of romance add another tangle to the pair's already complicated love lives.

Andrea was recently said to be dating former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller, while Robbie has had an on-off relationship with All Saint Nicole Appleton.

Tabloid reports suggest the ex-Take That singer fell for Andrea at this year's Brits, when he and Nicole had broken up.

Two days after the ceremony Robbie reputedly sent Andrea 100 red roses, with a message taken from the title of the Corrs' hit single What Can I Do To Make You Love Me?

"I just love the people", he said, also admitting that he could not speak Icelandic.

Albarn is working on an Icelandic film with former Sugarcubes member Einar, and is reportedly in talks to write the music for the film The Beach, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
