“It was a completely impromptu few days away in a gloomy January. mum and I found ourselves at Gatwick’s south terminal wondering what on earth we were doing- later mighty thankful,” she continued.

“We almost never holidayed the 3 of us ( children /partners/ friends)- a rare treat. Tash organised everything in her unique way ( in other words brilliantly) and I sat back being the birthday girl.”

After being hospitalised a couple of hours after the fall, Richardson was then transferred to a hospital in New York City, where she was put on life support and died two days later.

Richardson’s husband, Liam Neeson, was by her side when she died.

The actress was survived by their two children Micheál, who was only 13, and his younger brother, Daniel, who was 12.

“I think what’s nice about all our loved ones that have passed, if we do a nod – because in my experience, maybe it’s an age thing, I lost my father when I was very young – is that our loved ones are forever with us.
