Strictly Come Dancing Stars Honor Robin Windsor

The late Robin Windsor, a former professional dancer on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, was honored at a heartfelt tribute event titled 'Robin Windsor: The Final Act' held at London's Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Windsor, who struggled with depression and passed away in February at the age of 44, was celebrated by former co-stars and friends, including host Lisa Riley, who expressed hopes that Windsor would 'shine down on us all'. Strictly judge Anton Du Beke referred to him as 'a human Glitterball', emphasizing his vibrant spirit. The event featured performances from various Strictly professionals and a video montage of Windsor's life, with all proceeds benefiting the mental health charity Sane, which Windsor had supported as an ambassador. Organizers Pasha Kovalev and Anya Garnis received family permission to hold the tribute, aiming to raise awareness about mental health issues. Key messages from the evening encouraged open conversations about mental health, particularly among men, as emphasized by both Riley and Du Beke.
