Ronan Keating has paid a touching tribute to his darling mum Marie, to mark 19 years since her passing.
Marie Keating passed away at just 51-years-old in 1998, following a short battle with breast cancer.
Ronan, who was 21-years-old at the time of her death, set up the Marie Keating Foundation in honour of his beloved mother to help other women battling the disease.
Yesterday marked 19 years since her death, and Ronan took to Instagram to share a snap of himself with his mum and wrote a touching tribute alongside it.
“Hey Mam hard to believe it’s been 19 years since we said farewell.” he wrote.
“Still feels like yesterday. Missing you every single day. Thank you for all you sacrificed for us kids. We are the people we are because of your love. Love this pic taken in the Lord Mayors Pub in swords on my 18th Bday.
“She thought I was gonna drop the cake after spending the day making it.”
Our thoughts are with the Keating family during this difficult time of year.
