The Upstairs, Downstairs star attended a ceremony at Buckingham Palace in London, where she was handed the accolade by the monarch for services to drama.
Marsh says, “It feels fantastic, I never thought I would get anything, I’ve won awards and things but I never thought I would get an OBE – it’s extraordinary.
“It makes you look back at your career and all the bad reviews and whatever and you think, they’re nothing compared to coming to the palace.”
