Emotional Kate Beckinsale pays a heartfelt tribute to her late stepfather Roy on his birthday three months after his death


The actress, 50, paid tribute to her stepfather Roy on Saturday as she shared a gallery of sweet snaps on his heavenly birthday.

The tribute post comes after her stepfather Roy was hospitalised in Los Angeles in December after suffering 'a massive stroke' while battling two forms of cancer, which he was diagnosed with in the summer of 2023. The clip opened with a moving recording of Roy recalling how he was forced to hide in a shelter during the Blitz early in World War II as Nazi bombs rained down. He called the eventual announcement of Victory in Europe Day a 'wonderful thing,' because it meant no more hiding in shelters, and young men no longer had to leave their families to go off to fight across the continent.
