There is little mention of her friendship and association with the Kray brothers.
Sky News refer to her 'colourful life'.
'Actress Barbara Windsor with notorious East End gangster Ronnie Kray (left) Married to former nightclub owner and convicted criminal Ronnie Knight from 1964 to 1985, she famously had a much-publicised affair with her Carry On co-star Sid James.
She was also connected with East End gangsters the Kray Twins, and had relationships with both Reggie Kray and the twin's brother, Charles.
Windsor was later married to chef and restaurateur Stephen Hollings, from 1986 to 1995, before finding love with her third husband, Scott Mitchell, in 2000.
