Both characters along with everyone else in the shot were dressed in black, as they made their way to the wake.
As is the order of the day in recent times, everyone pictured are wearing masks.
Sharon’s dad was played by Paul Nicholas and he made 31 appearances on the soap between August 2015 and July 2016.
Kathy was in attendance as she was married to Gavin for 15 years between 2001 and 2016.
Gavin had an eventful time in his short period on Albert Square, as he murdered his sister and Sharon’s aunt Margaret Midhurst by pushing her off a balcony.
Sharon then joined him on the balcony and he asks Sharon to tell the police that Margaret fell.
A police officer then arrives on the balcony and Gavin grabs Sharon, threatening to jump, killing them both.
Sharon says he could never kill himself so he lets her go and she tells him it is over between them, before Gavin is arrested.
Sharon has had a tough year, which began when Dennis was killed in the Thames boat disaster for the soap’s 35th anniversary last year.
Since then her marriage with Phil came to a bitter end and bought the Vic with Ian Beale, but she turned sour towards him after finding out he locked her son in a cupboard on the lower deck of the boat.
She then plotted with Phil to Ian, which began with the soap bad boy lamping him over the head and knocking him out, before Sharon began to drug him.
Ian has since made an escape from Walford and Sharon is left to rue her attempts to end him.
