Veteran actress Barbara Windsor has been made a dame on a New Year Honours list which also recognises the achievements of jockey AP McCoy with a knighthood.
The honour for Dame Barbara, 78, best known for playing pub landlady Peggy Mitchell in EastEnders and for her roles in the Carry On films, is for services to charity and entertainment.
McCoy, the 20-time champion jockey, who won the lifetime achievement award at this month's BBC Sports Personality of the Year, becomes Sir Tony for services to horse racing.
