Dame Barbara Windsor sent a special message thanking Good Morning Britain's first-ever 1 Million Minutes Awards on Friday's edition of the show.
The actress, 82, was on hand to award Danny Brown the inaugural Dame Barbara Windsor Award - an accolade for someone who has helped people with Alzheimer's or Dementia combat loneliness.
Detailing her own experience with Alzheimer's, she told Danny in the sweet message: 'Volunteers like you are so important in the fight against loneliness, especially for those like us, who know all too well the struggles of a cruel illness.
'Your dedication to helping others has not only helped bring your community together, but brought much-needed attention to the valuable cause.'
Praising the volunteer for his incredible work, she added: 'And doing all this at the same time as living with dementia yourself, is truly inspirational.
'Thank you Danny, and congratulations again. God bless,' she said, as she blew Danny a kiss.
