Dame Barbara Windsor's has been laid to rest with flowers spelling out Babs, The Dame and Saucy adorning her coffin and a topless photo from her Carry On days included in the order of service. Her husband Scott Mitchell, who was married to Dame Barbara for 20 years, was joined by famous friends including Ross Kemp, Christopher Biggins, David Walliams and Matt Lucas at a private funeral at Golders Green Crematorium in London. The actress, best known for the Carry On films and EastEnders, died in December at the age of 83, after suffering from dementia. Mr Mitchell shared the order of service for her funeral because Covid restrictions have limited the number of mourners who can attend. He told the PA news agency: "As Covid has denied so many of Barbara's family, friends and fans a chance to say farewell properly, I wanted to share the order of service to let people be a small part of it. "My heart goes out to every family who have experienced the same restrictions at their loved ones funerals."
