Elizabeth Hurley has penned an emotional tribute to her ex-partner Shane Warne to honour what would have been his 53rd birthday.
The Royals actress, 57, and the Australian cricketer began a relationship in 2010 and became engaged the following year before calling it quits in 2013.
The pair remained good friends after their split and the model was one of many who were heartbroken when the news emerged that the Aussie legend had suddenly passed away earlier this year.

The Austin Powers star took to Instagram to Instagram today (September 13) and shared two throwback snaps of herself and the sportsman to commemorate her ex-fiancé's special day.
In the first snap, the Bedazzled actress slipped into a stunning white gown as she perched on Shane's lap while at a black tie event.
The former couple looked happy as ever as they embraced and both sported beaming smiles for the camera.
The following shot saw a playful Liz pretending to kiss a lamb while Shane held it and smiled down the lens.
"Happy Birthday Lionheart. You’re missed every day @shanewarne23," she penned alongside the duo of photos.
Speaking candidly about his life in an interview before his death, Shane opened up about his split with Liz and remembered the years he spent with her as "the happiest of his life."
He told the Mirror: "I was more in love with Elizabeth than I realised I could be," before adding: "I miss the loved we had. My years with Elizabeth were the happiest of my life."
Following his tragic death on March 4, the mum-of-one was amongst the many celebrities that paid an emotional tribute to the star.
Sharing several touching photos of the pair, she wrote: "I feel like the sun has gone behind a cloud forever. RIP my beloved Lionheart."
A few days later, the model took to Instagram and shared several snaps of herself alongside Shane's daughters, Brooke and Summer, as she dedicated International Women's Day to them.
She wrote: "I dedicate this #internationalwomensday to two brave, beautiful women @brookewarne and @summerwarne . I love you both so much and have the happiest memories of our times together. Your daddy loved you with all his heart."
