- Dame Barbara Windsor has delivered a letter to the Prime Minister on the behalf of the Alzheimer's Society, asking him to address the 'devastating state' of dementia care in the UK.
The Prime Minister said that reforming the dementia care system is a "big old job" but he will do his best.
The 82-year-old EastEnders and Carry On actress, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2014, held the prime minister's hand in the Downing Street garden after delivering the letter signed by 100,000 people.
Sky News spoke to her husband, Scott Mitchell.

I nursed my wife at home because she didn't want to die in hospital.She died in my arms.
This man is a good man that loves his wife. 👍 👍 👍 👍
Thats real love.. sympathies with u also
Sorry to hear that mate
♥
My condolences sir..xx
I think Scot is doing a real good job with Barbra he seems to be a really good husband putting Barbra first as this illness progresses he do what he feels is right for her
Scott doesn’t have to do this, he’s a Godsend, him and babs have plenty of money to cope with this horrible dementia yet he is fighting for us who don’t have the money, God continue to bless this man, and his wife, xxx
He looks after his wife too ,seeing her deteriorate before his eyes ,yet he continues.If she needed to go into a home though it is nothing to be ashamed of ,the man cannot be driven to madness ,he is indeed amazing.
@@rich3222 she did go to a care home he went with her
RIP absolutely heartbroken to know she’s left this world ❤️
I hope Dame Babs is told every day to remember that millions upon millions of people bloody adore her.
It’s so sad seeing Barbara like this I grew up watching her on eastenders and she’s very special to me as she was my favourite character
And other stuff as well-Come on
The great old gal Barbara WIndsor, a treasure.
Green Eggs and Ham yep she is a legend
Her character what cheeky one she was ,screen would light up with her presence and that laugh...... Grew up watching all the carry ons gosh heartbreaking.... great memories of a time long lost where there was love and respect for everyone ... We were taught to respect our elders not to swear use manners ... nowadays parents are not doing what our parents did... Education starts at home ...
Your not only a husband, your a hero.
and 6 years later in 2020 babs is still fighting dementia, such a strong woman
UPDATE DECEMBER 2020: just found out that she’s died. r.i.p babs gone but not forgotten 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
She was diagnosed in 2014, this was in 2019
Sadly she passed away today!
and now shes dead. this is so sad.
@@hehi8706 I did not know that. She was so lovely! I am in the US but very familiar with EastEnders..... Peggy was one tough cookie, and so was Barbara. RIP
Even when suffering with dementia her smile can light up a room. She is an absolute legend, and I think it’s great her and a Scott are trying to help other dementia/Alzheimer sufferers ...
Good for Barbara and her great husband too. My dad has dementia and man is it a tough thing to deal with. Especially with no help.
He just wants the taxpayer to fund her care so that he doesn’t have to sell her assets and can subsequently inherit her estate.
What a lovely man , everything he said is right my dad died of dementia, and there isn’t enough help out there and it’s such a hard thing to see a loved one go through , I hope this changes soon R I P Barbara 💔
What a remarkable man, very articulate and sincere!!!!
What an honorable man
8 Million Pound richer in few yrs ?
Get fucked.
who her husband of the pm IoI - her husband seems a good guy boris is a beIIend - aII the best to barbara
@Julie Newman well more money to dementia care is good of course but Boris isn't a nice man. He votes for cuts to the poor and is pro hunting!
@Julie Newman 85% of tories are bellends Julie lol
Barbara Windsor is a national treasure & she's very lucky to have Scott to look after her!
So fitting that his surname is Mitchell too
Haha yeah it is Liam!!!!!😂
That fact alone should ensure that she is treated like the crown jewels
Scott’s care and effort was so obvious to her, as she passed away today, she knew she was loved, this man was so good to her. RIP Babs ❤️
It is a very sad day to hear of Barbra passing, my thoughts goes out to all of her friends & family, she will be surely missed! 💔👼😞😭
RIP Barbara, and condolences to Scott and the family. May she rest in eternal peace.
Let’s face it she’s still gorgeous!
yea, rip
She was. Very beautiful until the end 💔
Yesss!! 👌👌
Shocking to see how this horrible illness can just take over someone’s life 😡😡
I work in a dementia unit and I constantly repeat and answer questions all the time and I wouldn’t have it any other way, they can’t help it so don’t get mad at them🥺
❤
👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌
🙏🥀
What an amazing person
As I work in a hospital, there is no bigger privilege in working with people living with a dementia; their families and carers also need care and support along their journeys. I was in the process of joining Alzheimer's Society as a volunteer, to raise awareness, but then we went into lockdown. As soon as I can I shall get back into it all again. I believe in what this lovely husband is saying and hope I can make a difference, take care x
Oh man. Seems a lovely bloke. Life is cruel. Respect him for drawing more attention to this area.
Poor Barbara is so sad to see her looking so frail.
Hey she can look back and remember she had Sid James the South African Errol Flynn up her and smile
@@James-nw1oj Jim dale is still around and I believe generally quite healthy
Vinegar Joe She can’t even remember her own name let alone the films she has been in
She is a Mitchell
@@summerrr1 alzeimers only really affects the short term memory
Love Babs, I was lucky enough to have been her personal security a few years back, she was lovely and I got all the stories about the carry on's and a whole lot more !! lol a genuine nice person, a people person everyone Babs was meeting had her full attention. Sad to see her like this, Time waits for no one.
It’s so sad to hear of Dame Barbara Windsor’s condition. But I send her and her husband lots of love and may they brave many tempests together.
God bless Barbara and Scott ❤️❤️🙏
I'm glad, regardless of what political alignment one is.... That at least this death sentence is bought to light. Well done Barbers Windsor for being so brave.
He's an amazing husband... Hope I find someone like him🙂 . Have always loved Barbara since the carry on films... Always cheerful bless her❤️🙏🏽
The fact that people absolutely slated this guy when he married Babs makes me sad
Yeah this shuts them up all about him just wanting to live from her fame and coin hey
They were absolutely proved wrong. Scott is a wonderful human being.
Haydo Dutch
Well not really
Money so he has to look as though he cares..he will of got in while lucid
I can understand why but at least he proved them wrong in the end.
My mum had alzims my dad cared for her as long as he could then it came to a head that dad was a virtual prisoner in his own home my self and my sister in law used to go and sit with her why dad went to do some shopping on a sunday my brother used to sit with her why dad went for a pint it got to the point were dad could not look after her he took.the hard decision to put her in a home after he spoke to use all for my dads health as well mum went in a care home and was well looked after dad went to see her three days a week until six years ago gone 12 june he was with her the night she died my dad visits her grave every week and takes flowers and well I know he misses her every day
My heart really goes out to anyone dealing with this illness and their loved ones it must be heart breaking😔
Barbara, has given so much joy & laughter over many years.
I hope her remaining years, are comfortable. She has a man who loves her very dearly & that is golden! I hope Scott has good support too Best wishes Faith
What a wonderful Man Scott is, loving and caring. Condolences to all those people who knows Dame Barbara Windsor personally. Another beautiful actress has gone but not forgotten.
What a bloke 👍👍👍
Another national treasure gone.
Sleep well Babs! 💐
What a wonderful woman - such spirit. And what a kind hearted man. Lots of love Barbara & Scott.♥️
Didn't even know she had dementia until I heard the news this morning that she passed away 😔... End of an era! She will always be known to me as Peggy Mitchell but to the older generation in the carry on films... R.I.P Barbara
Scott is areally good speaker.
Phil McDonald What a nice, caring guy!
He is wonderful isn't he!
Lovely man
This issue is major. I witnessed both of my grandparents go through this.
More and more care home need to cater for this disease.
Looks like she got the kiss but not the care so sad r.i.p babs
I’ve been diagnosed with Lewy body dementia I was told my life span we would be 8-5 years this was 4.5 years. Ago I’m glad that someone in the public eye has taken up on this campaign for me it’s too late but for others it’s a start 👍👍🤝🤝👍
Am so glad that Barbara had such a lovely supportive husband in Scott, horrible illness, love and thoughts with him ♥️
Sorry to hear she's passed away today at 8.35pm...great actress..RIP Babs
Such a lovely fella Scott Mitchell can't fault the man , worked in nursing for over ten years and have seen the affect it has not only on the sufferer but the family. In one case the person I was looking after lost her speech and her husband wouldn't leave her side he felt guilty going out with friends and moving on heart breaking. NEVER GIVE UP YNWA.
The only care my 85yr old mother who has Alzheimers has is me and im in my sixties and disabled with heart probs im an unpaid carer because who would take money off your own mother for care.Shes terrified of care homes and i really do hope that she will never have to go in one but will happen if i go before her the stress and struggles for food during lockdown was terrible dont know how i managed to get through it !!
Poor women my gran died of dementia sad to see her like that before she died one of the nicest people to me aswell and last time I saw her 😞
Scott is a wonderful man. God Bless him on his sad journey with his gorgeous wife Babs xx
Barbara is such a strong woman. I’m sure no one would’ve wanted her to return to EastEnders in 2016 if they knew that she was suffering from this dreadful illness, but the fact she did return just shows just how strong she is. I must admit, there’s not many days where I don’t think about Barbara’s health,
My Dad lost his Life to this God bless Babs and family
Barbara window is one of the great ..and still is bless
❤️💙💜my heart goes out to this guy .. he’s amazing.
Please please please...went through hell with my mom ...let's change this 💖
Can't believe Barbara has died. May her soul rest.
The phrase (National treasure) is thrown about frequently in society today.But there are very few who encompass all that it means to actually be one!.. (I.m.o.)..like Barbara Windsor,a lovely lady & living icon.xxxx
Scott is a great speaker and let’s hope Boris assists in this issue. Great to see Barbara again, we have missed our national treasure. God bless x
Fantastic man, beautiful speech and I agree with every thing his saying
God bless him and Barbara 😘
RIP Barbara Windsor
RIP to a legend. 😢 🌺
So sorry for a national icon like Barbara there,Love and respect to them both.❤.
So glad when people with this condition have someone to look after them and stay by their side because to be alone with this would be to scary.
Poignant to see Barbara slowly disappearing from that dreadful illness.
My mother has had it for a decade now. She no longer recognizes me.
She has one foot in this world and another in the next.....
I wish Scott well.
RIP man.
@@djyems1021 Heard the news late last
night. Her troubles have come to an end.
Barbara is at peace now.
RIP Barbara 😪
The government do need to get better dementia care, no one deserves to be neglected and treated differently
As someone who has suffered the agony of watching a family member get destroyed by Alzheimers, I can tell that Boris is being genuine.
Call that GE Boris. Let's purge the filth once and for all.
AICabal Bizarre comment.
My nana she passed away at the end of last year but she suffered from dementia and it's so hard to see someone who u care about going through that and deteriorate and it's not an easy thing to talk about all my respect to scott for making more people aware and understand how difficult dementia is a brave man best of luck to him and dame Barbara
Can't believe this happened to her. Her personality to this. So sad
Dear Lady, I loved the carry on films since I was a small boy
Barbara Windsor is a absolute legend in the UK I smiled just seeing her walk across in this video I wish her and her family all the best 👍
God Bless Barbara 🌺🌷
RIP Babs x
a bright star has left us R.I.P dame Barbara 💔💔
What a lovely man. My dad had dementia. Let’s hope there is light at the end of the tunnel. ❤️
Rest In Peace Dame Barbara Windsor 🕊
What a good man
She looks vacant... My mam has the same look. Very sad
This actually really helps me because three years ago my grandmother was diagnosed with alzheimer's and it was horrible to find out that she had it. I was completely shocked, I didn't know what to do. Luckily I still have her in my life right now but when the time comes that she has to go, I will most definitely be in pain because she is the person I love the most on this planet.
What a legend miss her RIP babs love
Kelly ❤
That’s it girl use this time in the right way 🔥🔥🔥
RIP ❤️
This made me respect boris, It’s a shame he has become such a let down in 2020
👌👍🥀
Barbara looks so wobbly on her legs now. So sad ageing
I held His hand and closed His eyes.
So glad she's been left alone by the media and has such a wonderful caring individual like him that's true love.
Makes a great point. Sad to see that legend like that. Much love.
Just found out. rest in peace my love 🤍🕊
🙏🥀
My heartfelt sympathy to anyone that is suffering and to their loved ones. RIP Barbara
this was absolutely devastating revelation
RIP Barbara so sad
Her husband really loves her
Nice to see that some people care...such a sad situation. My partner's mother has it...although very hard and sad...there are some funny mad bits too.. we salute all who care for those suffering 👍👍👏👏👏
He's brilliant 🎖🎖🎖
I've looked after my downs sister all her life she as now got dementia. I got paid £70 a week . My health as got bad because of it ( worrying over her) as put me into depression . Family members are saving government hundreds of pounds a week, there needs more help. Now I'm costing the government money because I'm disabled too.
RIP
And she's gone. RIP 💖
Should all prime minister's have a mental health check.
Top lad Scott!! Big respect
Rip Barbara 😭
So sad to see Babs with dementia she is a hero GodBless her.
RIP Barbara Windsor :(
MS care in the UK is very disturbing .
Scott and Barbara are amazing 🙂
Barbara Windsor Rest In Peace.
