BARBARA Windsor, who has died aged 83, became a national treasure as the bubbly blonde pin-up who stole millions of hearts over decades on screen.

The 4ft 10in actress became known as one of Britain's biggest TV personalities after first rising to fame in the 1960s. The daughter of a costermonger and a dressmaker, Barbara Windsor was born in Shoreditch, East London, in 1937 and grew up in nearby Stoke Newington.

She was evacuated to Blackpool during the bombing of World War Two before returning to London in 1944. After a string of minor film roles she rose to national prominence with her roles in nine Carry On films.
