Filming has begun for Coronation Street‘s 60th Anniversary, which is set to air later this year.
And Caroline Harding and David Neilson were seen arriving onto set as preparations got underway for the special in Media City, Manchester, on Wednesday.
The actor, 71, was seen wearing a face covering as the Dr. Howarth star opted to go without upon their arrival, where an array of marquees had been set up in the car part of the studios where the soap is filmed.

It is unclear how the marquees will be used during production, but it may well be a spot for the whole cast to get checked for coronavirus.
Caroline put on an effortlessly chic display as she wrapped up in a grey longline coat that she wore over a black-and-white dress that had a lace trim.
She stepped out in sturdy black boots and she accessorised with a red tag necklace, while she wore her auburn locks in a half-back hairdo.
David, meanwhile, kept things casual as he buttoned up a grey coat over a plain white shirt and denim jeans.

On Tuesday, Sally Dynevor appeared on Lorraine to discuss the upcoming special, as she said: ‘We’ve started filming on the 60th anniversary.
‘It’s great because it’s a community story, everyone is involved which is perfect for Coronation Street.
‘We’re all coming together and it’s a really lovely community story. We started filming this week so that will be out on December 9th which is really exciting.
‘At least we’ll be able to film something to put out for you for the 60th anniversary. 60 years of Coronation Street, that is amazing!’

On Wedensday, Sally’s eponymous character and Tim Metacafe were set to finally tie the knot, however, their plans could be scuppered by Tim’s bitter dad Geoff.
After evil Geoff (Ian Bartholomew) was exposed over his horrendous treatment of long-suffering wife Yasmeen, Tim (Joe Duttine) and Sally (Sally Dynevor) have both washed their hands of him.
But the couple’s plan to secretly get married without inviting Geoff looks set to be ruined as the police show up during their big day.
Wedding drama: On Wednesday, Coronation Street favourites Sally and Tim Metacafe finally tie the knot, however, their plans could be scuppered by Tim’s bitter dad Geoff
The much-loved couple were originally set to become man and wife five years ago, but the marriage was declared null void after it turned out that Tim was still married to his first wife Charlie.
Then their attempt to tie the knot again went pear-shaped recently after Sally discovered the money that Geoff had given them for the wedding actually stolen from his now imprisoned wife Yasmeen (Shelley King).
But with Geoff’s despicable behaviour now out in the open, Tim and Sally quietly make plans to hold a small ceremony without him – but Geoff soon gets wind of their idea.
After Tim’s daughter Faye (Ellie Leach) accidentally lets the cat out the bag, Geoff begs his son to let him attend his big day, but a determined Tim rejects him.
Tim later reassures Sally that Geoff won’t ruin their wedding day, but has he underestimated his twisted father?
With Geoff continuing to pester his son about the wedding, Tim confides in pal Abi (Sally Carmen) as he worries about his dad’s intentions.
On the big day, as the small wedding party head to the cars, Abi takes it upon herself to deal with Geoff in her own way – but has she made a huge mistake?
After Sally and Tim successfully get married at the register office, they return to the street ready to celebrate at The Bistro.
