Dame Barbara Windsor's fans are calling for a statue to be built in her honour.
Dame Barbara Windsor
Supporters of the late 'EastEnders' legend - who sadly died on Thursday (10.12.20) aged 83 after a long battle with Alzheimer's - have launched a social media campaign to have a commemorative figure erected in London's Shoreditch.
One fan wrote: "I really feel like we NEED a statue of Dame Barbara Windsor. She's a national treasure for crying out loud! (sic)"
Another added: "A statue of Dame Barbara Windsor in Shoreditch is a must".
And a third said: "The great Barbara Windsor should have a statue put up in London!"
Ross Kemp - who starred alongside her in the BBC soap - has revealed Barbara wanted to create a tax in her name to help people living with dementia.
He explained that the so-called 'Bab's tax' was her final wish, explaining that she wanted to use the money to develop more effective ways of treating dementia.
Ross said: "Barbara made it very clear she wanted dementia treated as a medical problem and not a social care issue.
"And I know that’s very expensive. So bring in a Barbara Tax - another pound or so on your tax bill to prevent people having to sell their homes to look after their loved ones.
"Or perhaps that money could help to find a cure for dementia, or at least slow down the onset."
And Ross has praised the way in which the actress - who played Peggy Mitchell in 'EastEnders' - dealt with the condition, describing the actress as "very brave".
The actor - who played Grant Mitchell, Peggy's son, in the BBC soap - shared: "Right until the end Barbara was very brave and very vocal about coming forward about Alzheimer’s and dementia.
"Right from when she was first diagnosed I remember having conversations with her and Scott about whether her being so vocal was the right thing to do. But for her it clearly was.
"That sums her up in many ways. That she was prepared to use her celebrity status to bring attention to Britain’s biggest killer."
