Actress Anna Wing, best known for her role as Lou Beale in the BBC soap EastEnders, has died aged 98.
The star, who appeared in the BBC One programme from its start in 1985, passed away on Sunday, her agent said.
Wing featured as the opinionated Beale and Fowler family matriarch for three years, alongside Gretchen Franklin as her best friend Ethel Skinner.
Lou, who was based on the aunt of EastEnders creator Tony Holland, was killed off in 1988.
Born in Hackney, London in October 1914, Wing started her career as an artist's model before working in hospitals during the Second World War.
She gained a scholarship, funded by an unknown benefactor, to the Croydon School of Acting at age 21.
During the 1960s and 70s, she starred in a number of TV mini-series and films including Doctor Who and The Woman in White.
Following her role in EastEnders, Wing appeared in The Bill, Casualty and most recently, Silent Witness.
Wing was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2009 Birthday Honours for her services to drama and charity.
