Dr Legg, played by actor Leonard Fenton, 92, had reached 98 years of age on the soap but unfortunately lost his battle with pancreatic cancer in scenes shown at the end of the episode.
Harold returned to Albert Square to spend his final moments with none other than his longtime friend Dot Cotton, played by June Brown, 91.

Dot realised the end was in sight for Dr Legg when he was brought back to the square and she saw the frail state he was in.
Hoping to make him think back on his younger days, Dot played him a DVD documentary of The Battle of Cable Street, a protest in London's East End in 1936 that he was said to have been involved in.
Sharing touching moments as Harold drifted away, the doctor held his father's pendant in his hand before his grip loosened and he passed away.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
