Coronation Street fans emotional over touching Jack and Vera tribute before wedding

Coronation Street fans became emotional over a special tribute on tonight's episode.

Fiz Stape was set to marry her other half Phil Whittaker on the ITV soap when Tyrone Dobbs gave her a special gift. There was a touching tribute to Cobbles legends Jack and Vera Duckworth as Tyrone presented a pair of pearl earrings to Fiz.

He had called in to see her before her big day and decided it would be an appropriate time to give her the present. Producing a small, red, velvet box Tyrone caused Fiz to look shocked.

He said: "No, don't panic! I'm not going to propose. I know when I'm flogging a dead horse."

In earlier episodes he had professed his love for his ex after being egged on by Kevin. But she had rejected his advances and decided to continue with her wedding to Phill.

Tyrone continued, as Fiz took the box from him. He said: "They're Vera's. Thought you might want to wear them, you know, something old and all that."

Fiz replied: "Ty, they're beautiful." Tyrone said: "Yeah they were an anniversary present from Jack. I mean it was a week late obviously, he's forgot and then they had one of their epic rows.

"He always managed to find his way back though. Like one of his pigeons. I always thought we'd be like them - an unbreakable team. But we're not so I hope you and Phill are."

Fans on Twitter loved the emotional moment with some sharing crying faces. Ryan said: "Tyrone giving Fiz Vera's earrings. Loved the Jack and Vera mention."

Westie said: "Tyrone giving Fizz a special pair of Vera's earrings." Meanwhile, Lyndsey said: "Jack & Vera mentioned. Tyrone & Fiz need to get back together I think."
