The EastEnders character Peggy Mitchell, played by Dame Barbara Windsor, has said her final farewell after almost 20 years on the soap opera.

Peggy, who had cancer, was seen talking to the ghost of her friend, Pat Butcher, before talking some unidentified pills.

The actress, Anna Karen, who played Peggy's sister in the programme, told John Humphrys that the British public loved Dame Barbara because she was "one of them".
