The Archers - 07/01/2011

Jill thinks that Freddie and Lily should go back to school. It might help them to cope and would give Elizabeth more time to think about Nigel's funeral. Jill calls the rest of the family together to discuss what needs to be done to help. To her surprise Elizabeth turns up and announces that the funeral will be next Thursday. She appreciates all their support but wants them to go back to their own homes now, she just needs some time on her own with the children. Kenton reveals to Jolene that he feels responsible for Nigel's death, he was the one who persuaded Nigel to put the banner on the roof. Jolene tells him that thoughts like that will drive him crazy. She suggests a walk up Lakey Hill to blow the cobwebs away. David confides to Ruth that he blames himself. If it wasn't for him, Nigel would never have been on the roof. Ruth comforts him - he's doing everything he can to support Elizabeth, and that's what matters now. Elizabeth tells Shula that she doesn't know how she's going to deal with the pain. Booking Nigel's funeral was hard enough. How's she going to carry on without him? She doesn't think she can do it.
