Dame Barbara Windsor Has Died General Chat

[Soffie]

Actress Dame Barbara Windsor, best known for her roles in EastEnders and the Carry On films, has died aged 83.

In a statement her husband Scott Mitchell said she had died peacefully from Alzheimer's/dementia at a London care home on Thursday evening.

She had been diagnosed with the disease in 2014 and had moved to a care home earlier this year.

Mr Mitchell said her final weeks were "full of humour, drama and a fighting spirit until the end".

Sad news but she's at peace now though.

Been so many celebrity deaths lately

Sad to hear this as she always was so lovely.

A horrid disease that she met with grace and good humour. RIP.

RIP. Great in the Carry On films and, by all accounts, a lovely woman.

 

[Cherub]

RIP

Met every challenge with a smile and a laugh. It is her laugh in the Carry On films that I always remember.

A British icon who provided millions with a lot of joy and entertainment. At least she is now free from that awful disease, Alzheimers.
