Tracey Ullman has received a lifetime achievement award at the British Comedy Festival in Los Angeles.
The comedienne was presented with the inaugural BAFTA/LA Charlie Chaplin Award for Lifetime Achievement in Comedy at the event.
Of her win, Ullman said: "It's lovely - I'm just thrilled. It's a nice achievement and I've got lots of friends here tonight and Brits.
"It's made me very retrospective thinking about what I've done and what I've achieved and I've come a bloody long way from my mum's window sill - the original Tracey Ullman show. I'd draw the curtains and my mum would sit in bed and I'd do a show on the window sill."
Congratulations :cheer:

Actor Ryan O'Neal fears his longtime partner Farrah Fawcett's upcoming cancer battle TV special will be one of the last things the actress will see.

Transformers actress Megan Fox has slammed "immature" males like Robert Pattinson and Zac Efron, insisting dating young men is "a waste of time".
The sexy star has been dating on/off fiance Brian Austin Green since 2004, when she was 18 and he was 30.
And she insists she has always been more attracted to mature males, because they share the same level of intellect with her.
She tells Elle magazine, "(Robert Pattinson) and Zac (Efron) - they're just too pretty with the big hair and the suits. And Rob is, what, 22? Zac is 21? That's a joke. Boys in their 20s are a waste of time. They have nothing to offer conversationally; they're immature.
"I feel like I have a better shot with someone in his 30s. I've lived the life of a 35-year-old since I was 18. I'm so suspicious of boys-slash-men. I just don't like them or trust them."
