Dame Barbara Windsor – best known for her roles as Peggy Mitchell in EastEnders and in the Carry On films – has died aged 83.

She passed away at 8.35pm on Thursday at a London care home, her husband Scott Mitchell said.

He added her final weeks were “typical of how she lived her life”, being “full of humour, drama and a fighting spirit until the end”.

The beloved soap and film star was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2014, going public with the news four years later.
