It's been on the cards for a while and now the time has come for Neighbours fans to bid a final goodbye to the residents of Ramsay Street.
The programme was once a major hit in Australia and a bigger success in Britain, but has fallen victim to waning ratings. Back in March, the end of the soap was officially confirmed after Channel 5 announced in February it would stop airing the show.
Bosses issued a message to the soap's fans in which they apologised to Neighbours' loyal following and explained the reason behind its cancellation.
The show’s Twitter account said at the time: "We are so sorry to say that after nearly 37 years and almost 9,000 episodes broadcast we have to confirm that Neighbours will cease production in June. "Following the loss of our key broadcast partner in the UK and despite an extensive search for alternative funding, we simply have no option but to rest the show."
