Former EastEnders actress Dame Barbara Windsor looked happy as she celebrated her upcoming birthday with her good friend David Walliams.
The actress, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, is set to turn 82 on August 6. She celebrated with an afternoon of tea and cake with the Britain’s Got Talent judge.
Posting a series of photos to Instagram, David revealed: “Afternoon tea with a legend. Dame Barbara Windsor.”
The first shot showed a smiling Barbara posing for a picture sandwiched between David and his mother Kathleen.

The new pictures of the iconic actress follow the news that her screen son Ross Kemp, who played hardman Grant Mitchell, is set to pay tribute to the actress in a new documentary.

Ross also revealed how Barbara was getting on.
He said: “I spoke to Scott last week. She has good days and days that aren’t so good. She’s affected by light, so when it gets dark it gets difficult.”
He added: “She’s Barbara Windsor and we love her.”
