On Thursday, Dame Barbara Windsor died at 83.
“Her passing was from Alzheimer’s/dementia and Barbara eventually died peacefully and I spent the last seven days by her side,” her husband Mitchell said in a statement.
Since then, a number of tributes have poured in for the “EastEnders” actress.

Prince William also honoured her on Friday as he gave a short speech at The London Palladium before a Christmas pantomime which he and Kate Middleton brought Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to.
“She was a giant of the entertainment world, and of course a legend on pantomime stages across the country including here at the London Palladium. And I know we’ll all miss her hugely,” the Duke of Cambridge said.
Windsor was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2014 and went public with it in 2018.

‘This is the moment I fell in love for the very first time. I was watching ‘Carry On Again Doctor’ on TV aged 7 or 8. I sat on the sofa blushing as red as a tomato as I had never seen anyone as beautiful, funny or adorable as #BarbaraWindsor and I still never have’. David pic.twitter.com/jfU9z3ivBe
