Barbara Windsor has described her colourful life as simply "the distance between two pear trees".
Speaking at a ceremony in west London where she planted a pear tree, the former EastEnders star remembered a similar tree at her childhood home.
Barbara, 73, said: "I grew up in the East End in a two up-two down. The first bit of green I had was when were allocated a prefab house in Stoke Newington with a garden and it had a little pear tree.
"Ever since I was a little girl I always wanted to live here in Marylebone. The first tree I could have known was a pear tree and here I am all these years later, planting a pear tree in Marylebone. So life has been the distance between two pear trees."
Barbara arrived at the ceremony in the Lord Mayor of Westminster's chauffeured Rolls Royce, which had the registration plate WE1.
The tree was planted as part of a scheme by Westminster City Council, Westminster Tree Trust and the W1W Tree Planting Initiative to increase greenery in central London.
Barbara is due to star in a pantomime in Bristol this Christmas.
She said: "I wanted to do pantomime again because I got my first job doing panto in the Golders Green Hippodrome. I always got to say the line 'Here comes the Baron'. When I left EastEnders I wanted to do a bit of theatre and I wanted to be on the stage on Christmas Eve. And now I will be."
and still playing a sad old Queen

Former EastEnders actress Barbara Windsor has admitted that she misses the team spirit that came with being part of the soap's ensemble cast.
Windsor made the decision to leave EastEnders earlier this year after playing matriarch Peggy Mitchell for 16 years, and her final scenes on the show aired in September.
The actress will next appear as part of the cast of pantomime Dick Whittington. She claims that the job has helped her move on from her days as a soap star.
"We started rehearsal on Monday and it was great, that camaraderie," Windsor told Holy Soap. "That's the only thing I've missed since I left EastEnders is that camaraderie."
Of her upcoming role playing Fairy Babs Bowbells, the actress said: "I'm nervous but a very excited nervous. I'm like a little girl."
Windsor makes her debut in Dick Whittington at the Bristol Hippodrome on December 11 and the show is scheduled to run until January 9.

Barbara Windsor has signed up to appear in Comedy Roast.
The Channel 4 show will see a host of celebrities pay tribute to the former EastEnders star with praise and comedic insults.
The lineup includes comedians such as Alan Carr, Sean Lock, Rich Hall and Paddy Kielty, while actors including Bernard Cribbins, Cheryl Fergison and Christopher Biggins will also take part.
Windsor will receive messages from stars who are unable to attend the event, including Michael Sheen, Leslie Phillips and the cast of EastEnders.
Previous Roast participants include Davina McCall, Bruce Forsyth, Chris Tarrant and Sharon Osbourne. Windsor's episode will air as part of Channel 4's Winter 2011 lineup.
EastEnders legend Barbara Windsor has vowed never to pull another pint in the Queen Vic ... because her character Peggy would hate its new look.
Babs, 73, who played the feisty landlady for 16 years until last year’s fire which led to the change, said: “It’s not my pub any more – it’s not the way it was.
“Peggy wouldn’t want to be in there and I wouldn’t want to be in there. All those green stripes and leopard-print stools? Peggy will never pull a pint in that pub the way it looks now.”
The Carry On legend said she was as busy as ever since *leaving the show in September – and nowhere near ready to *consider returning. And she thought her character would burn to death in the fire storyline.
Barbara said: “I would have been fine if they’d killed Peggy off. I never said, ‘Please keep Peggy alive.’ I’m eternally grateful for the show and what it’s done for me.
“But I genuinely thought I’d go up in flames at the Queen Vic. When I found out about the fire I thought, ‘Oh sh*t.’
“It was scary reading that script. But I didn’t think Peggy deserved to burn.
"Everything Peggy ever did she cocked up. The kids, the Vic and she b***ered up loads of lives. She knew she had to go and I love the fact that she’s out there somewhere.”
The star says she’s having the time of her life now she’s free from the gruelling filming schedules of the BBC1 soap.
She says her obsession with her *character started to interfere with her 10-year *marriage to Scott Mitchell, 47.
Barbara said: “Scott turned around to me one day and said, ‘Can I say something to you – whatever we talk about you bring it back to EastEnders.’ I was mortified. The Square was taking over my life.”
The star said her youthful looks are down to no longer being under the pressure of the soap.
She said: “Not being in *EastEnders has turned back my clock. I’ve not been touched up or had any surgery – cross my heart.”
Babs, who is playing Fairy *Bowbells in the panto Dick *Whittington in Bristol, revealed she has turned down many *requests to go on reality TV.
She said: “I was offered the jungle, then they *wanted me to do the Arctic and save polar bears and one *wanted to get me going down the Zambezi *River.”
Barbara is taking part in Pantomime season, sponsored by Robinsons. To book tickets to see Dick Whittington at the Bristol Hippodrome, visit www.firstfamilyentertainment.co.uk

Hilarious one liner from Paddy Kielty tonight on the Poison Dwarfs Roast on C4
It's a bit risqué so dont read if easily offended
Spoiler:
TELLY legend Barbara Windsor has told how she used to HATE her famous boobs. Former EastEnders star Babs, 74, says her first bra fitting as a young woman changed her life — and she is now making a drama about it.
The 4ft 11in actress said of her 36C bust: "People will be shocked to learn that I wasn't always the confident, feisty blonde that I am today — and how two of my greatest assets were the bane of my life."
Babs will star in an episode of Sky1's Little Crackers, which features key moments in celebrities' lives.
She said: "After more than 74 years on this planet, how do you choose one moment that changed your life? There have been so many." But Barbara, known for her bra mishaps in the Carry On films, added: "Little Crackers has given me a chance to reveal one of those moments."
In the short dramatised film, to air at Christmas, a young Barbara, played by newcomer Samantha White, attends the bra fitting after becoming embarrassed by her developing figure.
Made in Dagenham's Sally Hawkins will play her mum, and Barbara has a cameo role as the kindly lingerie fitter.
Other celebrities due to appear in the second series of Little Crackers include comic Harry Hill, actress Sheridan Smith and Loose Women star Sally Lindsay.

TELLY Legend Barbara Windsor
IN HER OWN MIND
I don't know why she is complaining about her bosom. It got her plenty of work because as sure as he'll it wasn't for her acting abilities
Ex-EastEnders star Barbara Windsor has admitted that she misses her former colleagues.
The actress, who left her iconic role as Peggy Mitchell last year, said that the cast and crew are the only aspect of the BBC One soap she misses.
"I miss the camaraderie and my mates. I loved coming into work and seeing everyone, the wardrobe and make-up people and runners. I miss that. That's about it," she told Metro.
Asked if she would ever return to the show, Windsor replied: "I don't know. I don't think so at the moment. She just went off, didn't she? I worried about leaving EastEnders but I've been very busy this year. I don't want to give the business up - it's looking bright."
Speaking of her proudest career moment, she added: "Being part of two great British institutions - Carry On and EastEnders - and to still be working."
She previously confessed that retiring from the world of soap had driven her mad.
Windsor recently said that she is "devastated" over Pam St Clement's departure from EastEnders, adding that she will be "sorely missed".
Obviously her toy boy lover doesn't keep her busy enough
Former EastEnders star Barbara Windsor has refused to rule out a return to the long-running soap.
The 74-year-old actress played Peggy Mitchell - the rambunctious owner of the Queen Vic - for 16 years, leaving the programme almost two years ago.
Appearing on an upcoming episode of The Rob Brydon Show, the comedian asked Windsor whether she would ever consider returning to Albert Square, to which she replied: "Never say never."
Windsor joined the soap full-time in 1994, and was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the British Soap Awards in 2010.
The former Carry On star has already returned to the soap once, after a debilitating case of the Epstein-Barr virus forced her to take a two-year sabbatical in 2003.
Windsor departed the soap again in 2010, as Peggy left Walford after her son Phil - who was addicted to heroin at the time - burnt down the Queen Vic in an act of revenge.

Oh Alan will be happy

Oh Lord No. Actually I'm not surprised she hasn't ruled out a return I'm more surprised it's taken her this long to admit she wants to back. Now we will have to suffer her and Mr Beetroot endless pleas to bring back Grunt again
i dont think we need babs back, ee is doing just fine. we have a new matricach in the form of the wonderful ann mitchell.
Barbara Windsor has spoken of her discontent at the standards of punctuality on EastEnders.
Shona McGarty, who plays Walford's Whitney Dean, was recently given a four-week suspension from the BBC soap for "persistently being late".
Albert Square legend Windsor, who quit her famous role as Peggy Mitchell in late 2010, also commented upon an old feud with former co-star Jessie Wallace (Kat Slater) over timekeeping.
Windsor told The Mirror: "It's common knowledge I fell out with Jessie because she was late sometimes. I am sure she has changed now. The business has changed though.
"June Brown, who plays Dot Cotton, says I should provide a masterclass to those starting out.
"Punctuality is important to me. You have to be early and dressed. There were no jeans in my day. When I started off, if you were late you got a ticking off. Then you got a fine and then you were out."
The 74-year-old Carry On star added: "Everybody was late or everybody was talking on their mobiles. I don't like that but the governors are not so strict now. It's a generational thing. It was difficult.
"It was not their fault as it starts at the top. If they are not taught it then it is not there. A lot of the young stars have not had to work their way up."
duplicate post :(
