Condolences to her family. Me and my mum used to watch are you being served every week when I was little. I thought she was really pretty.

Former EastEnders actress Wendy Richard has died at the age of 65, her agent has confirmed.

The star, who played Pauline Fowler in the BBC One soap opera for 21 years, had been suffering from cancer.

Her agent Kevin Francis said: "She was incredibly brave and retained her sense of humour right to the end."

Last October, Richard revealed she had an aggressive, terminal form of cancer. Soon after that she married her long-term partner John Burns.

Francis said the star passed away in the Harley Street Clinic in London with her husband by her side.

Are you being served was a great show and I'll alway remember her as Pauline Fowler. So sad for her family, my thoughts and well wishes go to them at this tragic time.
RIP Wendy Richard.

She was funny as hell in Are You Being Served, and played the cantankerous old bag in Eastenders very well. A good all round actress in all.
