It's dominated our TV screens since 2013, but now the final ever episode has aired and tributes have been flooding in for the cast and crew of Peaky Blinders. Fans have been sharing their love for the show as series six marks the end of the period drama series.
It was an emotional viewing for many loyal viewers who have watched the series since Tommy Shelby first rode through the streets on a black horse in the first episode of series one nine years ago. In the final scene broadcast on April 3, Tommy had a fitting end as he was seen riding off into the countryside on a white horse whilst flames filled the screen.
Despite it being the last series, it's not a final farewell from the Birmingham family. It has been confirmed that a feature film will be made and The Radio Times reported that Tommy Shelby played by Cillian Murphy is returning to feature but further cast details are yet to be revealed.
The official Peaky Blinders Twitter account shared after the 80-minute finale: "Thanks for watching #PeakyBlinders. Thank you to all the incredible fans who have been a part of the journey over the last ten years. We couldn’t have done it without your support. Now we Peaky Blinders rest."
Fans have since been tweeting their support and love of the show in the aftermath of the series ending and have been full of praise for the lead star Cillian Murphy. "What an amazing shot...all his demons, his past, his sins burnt down. This hell of a life is now behind him, because he finally finds peace, on hills with his white horse, back to his roots. #PeakyBlinders genius, once again." Frelsi tweeted.
"Cillian Murphy is one of the best actors we’ll ever be lucky enough to see in our lifetimes. No one else could do what he’s done. No one. #PeakyBlinders" Jessica Crosby said. "I can’t express how much this show means to me! Thank you for everything and more. That was the most beautiful ending anyone can ask for and thank u for delivering such a beautiful story…. Thomas Shelby will live forever." Kloe posted.
Alice May added: "Feel absolutely devastated for anyone who has not seen #PeakyBlinders and who has not just enjoyed that MASTERPIECE of a finale for truly one of the best shows of a generation. enter on the dark, black horse & exit on the white. What an ending."
Sarah Forster "I actually love this episode! But there’s too many ends not tied up! Should of ended with Tommy bringing down Mosley's movement in some way! But you can’t fault the series has been amazing from start to finish." Nat added: "What an ending to the most incredible series to ever grace our tv screens, well done peaky blinders I'll miss you #PeakyBlinders"
