Hopefully she died of smoke inhalation and knew nothing about it. I liked her

Aww, so very sad. Loved her in the series On The Buses.
RIP Anna.

Sounds like she was fully aware but to frail to escape it she had carers 4 times a day. Very very sad

You haven't read the link have you Barry? She was shouting, "Help me Help me".

Poor lady. R.I.P.

[barry1010]

I read a different link earlier and there was no mention of that, so thank you, lb.

I recall reading that Babs Windsor left Anna £1,000 in her will and I can understand why now. Dreadfully sad way to leave this world.

Such sad news. A horrible way for a live to end. I loved On The Buses and she was so funny in it. RIP Anna

It really was a horrible way to go. But just one of many in this country each year. Think of Grenfel Tower.
