Judy continued: ‘I survived thanks to exceptionally swift arriving and skilled ambulance crew and superb emergency treatment at London’s Royal Free Hospital and two major life-saving bl00d transfusions.

The festivities were documented by daughter Chloe who shared a slew of rare snaps of her mother, who has retreated from the public eye in recent years.
Judy was dressed to impress for the occasion, showcasing her weight loss in a £126 floral Boden dress.
