The cast of Blue Bloods have bid farewell to the show, which has ended for good after 14 years.

On Friday (13 December), the long-running procedural drew to an end after being cancelled by CBS – despite protestations from the show’s stars.

Since news of the police show’s cancellation was announced, cast members Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynihan and Tom Selleck were outspoken in their disappointment with the network’s decision.

While news may not have come as a huge surprise considering the latest season was only commissioned when the cast and producers agreed to a 25 per cent pay cut, Moynihan said that “everybody was really upset and sad” with the announcement – and after the finale aired, they paid tribute to the show.

ADA Erin Reagan actor Moynihan shared a selection of behind-the-scenes photos from the show, writing on X/Twitter: “Wish I could post a photo of every one of the cast and crew who has helped make @BlueBloods_CBS what it is. It took a village and I love that village! See y’all at 11pm with a few tears in our eyes!”

Wahlberg, who played Detective 1st Grade Daniel “Danny” Reagan, added: “Thank you for all the love – through all the years! All 14 of them to be exact. We are on to whatever comes next, and whatever that is, we do it together, again! As always! Thank you Blockheads!”

Officer Edit “Eddie” Janko actor Vanessa Ray wrote on Instagram: “On the eve of our last episode, I’m thinking about my partners. We used to laugh about the number of times we were scripted to say ‘I need a partner I can trust…’ I assure you I trust Will, Yasha, Lauren and Ian with my life.
