'EastEnders' are planning a World War I commemorative episode.
Bosses on the BBC One soap are keen to mark the 100-year anniversary of the start of the Great War, and scenes will show Dot Branning (June Brown) organise a special memorial service.
She will be assisted by squaddie Lee Carter, the son of Queen Vic landlords Mick and Linda Carter, in putting together the tribute.
And Lee - who is played by Danny-Boy Hatchard - will also make a heartfelt speech at the service in scenes which will air in August.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "The show felt it was important to mark the centenary.
"It is only right that the heroes should be honoured in the show.
"Dot is the perfect character to bring the appropriate level of reverence while Lee adds relevance from his experiences of conflict.
"It should be a really moving episode that fans will love."
Show producers are keen to keep the episode as accurate as possible, so scriptwriters are being advised by real-life soldiers to ensure military protocols are properly observed.
Meanwhile, the soap will ensure it stays topical tonight (16.06.14) after a last minute scene was inserted to discuss England's World Cup defeat to Italy at the weekend.

Kanye West is working with Rick Rubin on a new album.
The producer, who teamed up with the rapper on his recent LP 'Yeezus', has announced that he has been "looking at vocal ideas" for the 37-year-old star's follow-up collection.
Speaking in an interview with BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe, which will broadcast today (16.06.14), Rick said: "Kanye West is coming in and we're starting looking at vocal ideas for things for the next album."
Rick, 51, then went on to talk about the time he spent with the 'Bound 2' hitmaker while they were putting together 'Yeezus' last year.
He explained: "He originally came over and said 'I wanna come play you my new album' and I thought we'd be listening to a finished album. Then we listened to about three hours of music, most of which didn't have vocals, and at the end I was like, 'Wow, so what's it gonna be?' I'm thinking it's a year away and he was like, 'Well, I'm putting it out in like 5-6 weeks.' "
He added: "It was just a funny conversation because it was completely normal to him, it's just the way he works."

Rik Mayall's World Cup song has entered the UK singles chart at number seven.
The late comedian's track 'Noble England' - which failed to chart upon its initial release in 2010 - reached the UK top 10 yesterday (15.06.14) following a tribute campaign by fans after his death last week.
More than 300,000 people signed up to a Facebook group designed to get the song to number one and helped it catapult up the chart.
However, 'Noble England' was unable to outperform former 'X Factor' contestant Ella Henderson, whose debut song 'Ghost' hit the number one spot and became the fourth fastest-selling single of 2014 thus far.
Rik, who died at his home on June 9, released 'Noble England' in 2010 to spur on the England football team during the World Cup in South Africa.
He said at the time: "I am the lovechild of Britannia and St George. That is why they gave birth to me, so that I could release this single.
"I'm doing my bit, just like every other Englishman, as we stand shoulder-to-shoulder, doing out bit, stiff upper lip - apart from when you're screaming out the lyrics to 'Noble England'."
A post-mortem conducted on Rik's body last week proved inconclusive, but his wife said he suffered an "acute cardiac event" after his morning run on the day of his death.

Biffy Clyro's next album is "very danceable".
The 'Black Chandelier' hitmakers are using computers to make music for the first time and say their forthcoming seventh album marks a change in direction for the Scottish rockers.
Drummer Ben Johnston said: "It's early days, but a couple of new songs we're recording are sounding very danceable.
"We're thinking of shaking up the way we write - all of us coming up with ideas on our computers and swapping them around. It'll be the first time we've really used computers to write.
"While I'm sure we'll create a few more big rock songs, it'll be good to see what new sounds we conjure up too."
The group - whose last album 'Opposites' topped the UK charts - are ready to "start afresh" with their music and have promised to surprise fans with what they come up with.
Ben told the Daily Star newspaper: "We think of our albums as two different trilogies, and 'Opposites' was number six. It's time to start afresh, and some songs we've worked on are very different.
"Some songs are dark - they sound like black metal."
The 'Many of Horror' rockers headlined the Isle of Wight festival alongside Red Hot Chili Peppers and Kings of Leon at the weekend but didn't think it was the right time to showcase any of their new songs.
Ben explained: "A festival wasn't the place to try out new songs on people who wanted to dance to old favourites."

Cheryl Cole has refused to sit next to Louis Walsh on 'The X Factor'.
The 'Crazy Stupid Love' singer has insisted on being seated away from the Irish music manager - who once looked after her band Girls Aloud - and new judge Mel B will act as a buffer between them on the judging panel when auditions begin in Manchester today (16.06.14).
It's thought Cheryl and Louis are still at odds over his management of her former band and she recently called for him to be replaced on the 'X Factor' panel, despite him being the show's longest-serving judge.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "A lot of thought has gone into the seating after Cheryl said she wouldn't sit next to Louis. The pair have a lot of beef from the days of Girls Aloud.
"It means Mel has to sit between them -- giving Cheryl the key spot next to Simon [Cowell]. Mel is unlikely to be happy about that but, as the new girl, she is just going to have to lump it."
'X Factor' boss and head judge Simon previously revealed he and Cheryl, 30, had disagreed on whether to bring back Louis.
He said: "She doesn't want Louis to come back, but he'll be back. I want him to come back. We work really well together. I couldn't imagine it [without him]."

Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno is having the "best month" of his life.
The band's guitarist is over the moon after the success of their latest album '48:13' - which has just topped the UK Albums Chart - as well as their upcoming homecoming gig in Leicester and a headline slot at Glastonbury at the end of the month.
Serge gushed: "This is the best month of my life. The album [going to number one], the Leicester gig, headlining Glastonbury, the World Cup is on ... it's a huge time.
"What we've made, we're really proud. It's our fifth record and to be number one at this stage, it's massive. People keep telling me rock music is dead but I won't believe it.
"I want us to try to help make kids pick up guitars and get out there."
Serge and his bandmates, Tom Meighan, Chris Edwards and Ian Matthews, are set to play to a sold-out crowd in their hometown of Leicester this weekend and have promised an exciting surprise for the 35,000-strong crowd which will include their friends and family.
The rocker told The Sun newspaper: "We are planning something huge - I would tell you but I don't want to ruin the surprise. We've got a massive entrance planned.
"The buzz around the city already is amazing. It's dawning on us what we've done in bringing a gig like that to a city that has never really seen anything quite like it."

'Big Brother: Power Trip' star Mark Byron is reportedly set to get a visit from bailiffs.
The psychic claims he can predict the future, but he might be getting a visit he didn't see coming when his landlord David Dowie takes him to court over allegedly not paying his rent.
The flamboyant TV star is said to owe £1,414 in rent for his London flat and furious property owner David is considering sending bailiffs into the 'Big Brother' house to claim the £5,000 prize Mark was given by power housemate Pauline Bennett on launch night earlier this month.
He ranted to the Daily Star newspaper: "I was watching 'Big Brother' and he was sat in the diary room and had won that money. He was saying he was going to used it to buy a pug dog. I don't have someone living in that flat for the high life, it is because it helps to balance the books."
A court spokesperson revealed a warrant had already been issued against the 24-year-old reality star, and a letter demanding Mark pay his debt within five days has been sent to the Elstree TV Studios in Hertfordshire.
A Channel 5 spokesperson added: "We will deal with any legal procedures as is required."

Cher Lloyd has taken up knitting.
The 20-year-old singer, who has been on a two year hiatus after achieving success in America, has been spending her spare time creating knitted scarves.
Speaking to Heat radio after her set at the Isle of Wight Festival, she said: "I've recently taken up knitting. I knit scarves and blankets but that's as far as I'm at as the patterns are confusing me. I knit, I watch 'EastEnders' and do my knitting ... it's relaxing."
The 'I Wish' star admits she didn't initially plan to take so much time out of the industry but felt she had a lot of maturing to do after finding success on ITV talent show 'The X Factor' in 2010.
She said: "I've been away two years and I'm a new person. I packed my bag for two weeks but have come back two years later.
"I realised I had a lot of growing up to do, and it's the best thing I could have done. I needed to do a lot of growing up ... I was a brat when I was on 'The X Factor'. I was a teenager with all those hormones going on but I was doing it in front of millions."
She added: "Everyone had an opinion [about me], I've even annoyed myself. I'm back and I'm better now."
Cher is going head-to-head in a chart battle with 'X Factor' mentor Cheryl Cole with her new single 'Sirens' out on July 20, the same day as Cheryl releases 'Crazy Stupid Love'.
Cher said: "I didn't realise it was out on the same day. She was my 'X Factor' mentor! I cannot think of a better person to ask for advice now we are back.
"We're not in touch but I would like to speak to her. We had an amazing experience together, I hope she feels the same."
Cher is also glad to see Cheryl back on 'The X Factor' panel with Simon Cowell and admits she would like to meet up with her record label boss.
She added: "Not over dinner though, that's too formal. That's not me. Despite the rumours ... I'm still signed to Syco!"

'Coronation Street's Gary Windass is to have an affair with newcomer Alya Nazir.
The builder - played by Mikey North - is set to cheat on his girlfriend Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston) after he finds himself in bed with the beautiful receptionist (Sair Khan) following a boozy night out.
However, the flame-haired hunk's world will come crashing down when he discovers his one night stand actually lives on the cobbles and is the daughter of gym instructor Kal Nazir (Jimi Mistry).
Gary begs Alya to keep his dirty little secret under wraps, but she threatens to expose his naughty antics to wheelchair-bound Izzy, who is also the mother of his infant son Jake.
In scenes to be screened later this month, Gary pleads: "Please don't tell anyone about last night. I messed up. She's not my wife, but I have never cheated on her before. I really regret it."
However, feisty Alya leaves Gary fearing the future of his relationship after she snaps back: "The mother of your child? Who is lovely, by the way. Why didn't you tell me about her last night? Slipped your mind, did it? You wanted to get me into bed. Mentioning her and your child might have spoiled your plans.
"You really know how to make a girl feel special. Izzy deserves to know about the sleaze-ball she's going out with."
Meanwhile, newcomer Sair's sexy storyline meant she was forced to lock lips with Mikey on the second day of filming on the ITV soap, but she insists her co-star made her feel totally at ease.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, she said: "It was really surreal, such an odd experience. But Mikey was great and helped me out."

L'Wren Scott's sister has blasted Sir Mick Jagger for being "grotesquely disrespectful".
Jan Shane is furious with the Rolling Stones rocker after it emerged he met his new lover Melanie Hamrick - who he was pictured embracing on a hotel balcony in Zurich, Switzerland, on June 1 - weeks before the fashion designer's suicide in March, and she is now convinced his womanising played a "bigger part" of her younger sibling's problems.
Jan said: "The more I think about it, the angrier it makes me. My sister deserves more respect.
"It hasn't even been three months since she died. I now believe that he was a bigger part of her troubles than we knew about.
"It doesn't surprise me at all. I'm just really glad that L'Wren doesn't have to put up with him any more."
Jan, 53, went on to slam the 'Paint It Black' star's "sad" antics and the speed in which he has moved on from his later partner of 13 years.
She added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "My sister deserved so much more than that. It's a terrible thing for Mick to have done. It's sad. His life goes on as if nothing happened. He's still out with women, but a huge part of our family is missing.
"She had accomplished so much without him. She was amazing in so many people's eyes. He just needs to quit dragging her name through his c**p!"
It was revealed yesterday (15.06.14) that Mick, 70, met Melanie backstage at one of his gigs in Tokyo, Japan, on March 6 - just 11 days before L'Wren hanged herself in her New York home.
Insiders say the rocker made a "beeline" for their dancer - who was previously engaged to a man 20 years older than her - but they did not "consummate their friendship" until the recent trip to Zurich.
Mick - who has seven children from previous relationships - spent Father's Day yesterday in Vienna, Austria, with some of his children and ex-wife Jerry Hall.

Niall Horan is "pretty taken" with model Thalia Heffernan.
The One Direction star reportedly shared a kiss with the 19-year-old beauty when he returned to Ireland last month and the pair are desperate to find the time in their busy schedules to meet again.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Thalia is a really gorgeous girl inside and out. Niall is pretty taken with her. They are still in touch and get on really well.
"Niall's never in one place for long and Thalia travels the world modelling so it will be a case of whenever they can manage it."
And meeting up may not be easy for the pair as 20-year-old Niall - who has previously been romantically linked with singer Ellie Goulding, model Barbara Palvin and reality TV star Louise Thompson - is busy with One Direction's 'Where We Are' world tour, while Thalia recently revealed plans to spend the next few months in Australia.
She said: "There has been a lot of interest and I am going to try it out and see how it goes.
"I have just booked my flights for June 23. I am going on my own so it will be tough but I am very excited.
"There is so much work at the moment, it is amazing. I've just been so busy."

Melanie Griffith wants custody of the three dogs she shared with Antonio Banderas.
The 56-year-old actress filed for divorce from her husband after 18 years of marriage last week, citing irreconcilable differences, and though custody of their 17-year-old daughter Stella is unlikely to be an issue as she turns 18 in September, the 'Working Girl' star is anxious that their settlement allows her to keep the one terrier mix and two shepherd lab mixes they adopted last February.
A source told website TMZ: "Melanie is the better dog owner between herself and Antonio ... and the pooches mean the world to her."
It was recently claimed friends of the former couple were shocked by their split as they have always been able to work through their problems in the past.
One source said: "They've been down this road before and had their ups and downs, but I never thought it would actually happen."
But another insider added: "They have had issues for years. The fights and separations got to be too much. There were fewer happy moments."
Despite going their separate ways, the duo are still on good terms and optimistic about the future.
A friend close to Melanie said: "Simply put, I think life took a toll on them. But they will be the first to say they had a good run."
