'Get outta my pub!' BBC pay a touching tribute to Barbara Windsor with a compilation featuring Peggy Mitchell's most famous EastEnders line

Beloved EastEnders' character Peggy Mitchell said goodbye to Albert Square for the final time in last night's episode but the BBC weren't going to let her go without reliving her most famous line.

Dame Barbara Windsor frequently screamed the phrase 'get outta my pub!' as she played the Queen Vic landlady in the soap for 22 years.

As her final scenes aired, the BBC shared a compilation on their Twitter account of all the times the actress shouted the phrase at those who had upset her.

The clip revealed how her altercations over the decades have been with some of the soap's most famous characters with her ordering Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack), Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) and Pat Butcher (Pam St. Clement) out of her pub in the video.

The footage also revealed Peggy's changing hairstyles and dress sense in line with the trends at the time the scenes were filmed in the Nineties and Noughties. 

EastEnders fans were delighted with the sequence saying it was 'hilarious' but some said she must have uttered the phrase more times then shown in the 30 second sequence. 

Many said they were going to miss Peggy being behind the bar of the Queen Vic with Robert writing: 'We love our Peggy' and Brett Greene Tweeting 'EastEnders'll never be the same ever once, Dame Barbara has gone #willbemissed #getoutofmypub.'

Dame Barbara announced that she was leaving the character of Peggy behind in January. Although she hasn't been in the soap for a number of years, she returned for the former landlady to be killed off on screen as she learnt her cancer had returned.

The Carry On actress said of her decision to leave the soap for good: 'Peggy is a character close to my heart but I made the decision a while ago that I need to say goodbye to her once and for all.

'Otherwise, she will always be there, urging me to go back, and that is something I need to shut the door on.'

Viewers were heartbroken as they saw Peggy take an overdose after breaking the news to her son Grant (Ross Kemp) that her cancer had returned.

In a poignant final scene, after smelling cigarette smoke throughout the episode, Peggy hallucinated the return of her former love rival-turned-friend Pat.

Dame Barbara, 78, made her debut in the soap in 1994 and it became the defining role of her career.

She played Peggy full-time until 2010, and subsequently revived the Walford stalwart for occasional appearances.

As the landlady of the Queen Vic, Peggy was much loved for her feisty temperament and her 'get outta my pub!' catchphrase, although she happily handed over the pub's reins to Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) in her final episode.

Peggy's funeral will see another EastEnders favourite return in the form of Danniella Westbrook, who played her daughter Sam Mitchell, as the family gather along with the soap's fans for a final farewell. 

EastEnders continues on Thursday (May 19) at 7.30pm on BBC One.
