Barbara Windsor's funeral confirmed for this week with Ross Kemp 'set to make speech'
Dame Barbara Windsor died following a six-year battle with Alzheimer’s disease in December 2020. It’s now been confirmed the ex EastEnders star will be cremated at a private ceremony, held at Golders Green Crematorium this Friday.
Due to the ongoing coronavirus, the number of mourners attending and invited to the private ceremony is limited.
A JustGiving page set up as a tribute to the late Carry On actress, and in aid of Alzheimer’s Research UK, has raised nearly £140,000 so far.
Barbara’s friend Christopher Biggins revealed he and Ross Kemp, who played the actress’ son Grant Mitchell in EastEnders, will be making a speech at the funeral, last month.
Speaking on Steph’s Packed Lunch, he said: “I’m very honoured because you can only have 30 people at the funeral, and I am one of the speakers.
