I am not realy sure what this page is I was just adding content I found on wikipedia seen below and other sites but like you say it could become overcrowded, maybe at the end of collecting information if there is still room might create a seperate section for the War and possibly the Tom Daley one.

Although episodes are predominantly recorded weeks before they are broadcast, occasionally,  EastEnders includes current events in their episodes. In 1987,  EastEnders covered the  general election.

Using a plan devised by co-creators Smith and Holland, five minutes of material was cut from four of the pre-recorded episodes preceding the election. These were replaced by specially recorded election material, including representatives from each major party, and a scene recorded on the day after the election reflecting the result, which was broadcast the following Tuesday. [49]  The result of the  2010 general election was referenced in 7 May 2010 episode. [50] 

During the  2006 FIFA World Cup, actors filmed short scenes following the tournament's events that were edited into the programme in the following episode. [51]  Last-minute scenes have also been recorded to reference the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the  Second World War in 1995, the two minute silence on Remembrance Day 2005 (2005 also being the year for the sixtieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War and the 200th anniversary of the  Battle of Trafalgar),  Barack Obama<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.3999996185303px;">'s election victory in 2008, <sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="line-height:1;font-size:11.1999998092651px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;white-space:nowrap;">[citation needed] <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.3999996185303px;"> the  death of Michael Jackson<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.3999996185303px;"> in 2009, <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-52" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-size:11.1999998092651px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">[52] <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.3999996185303px;"> the  2010 Comprehensive Spending Review<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.3999996185303px;">, <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-53" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-size:11.1999998092651px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">[53] <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.3999996185303px;">  Andy Murray<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.3999996185303px;"> winning the  Men's Singles<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.3999996185303px;"> at the  2013 Wimbledon Championships<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.3999996185303px;">, <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-54" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-size:11.1999998092651px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">[54] <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.3999996185303px;"> the  wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.3999996185303px;">, the birth of  Prince George of Cambridge<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.3999996185303px;">., <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-55" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-size:11.1999998092651px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">[55] <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.3999996185303px;"> Scotland voting no against independence in 2014, and the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the Great War.
