With the news of his death announced yesterday (August 24), fans and friends have been sharing tributes after being devastated by the sad news.
Forever Hounds Trust, a dog foundation have also paid tribute to the star, when they took to Twitter to write a sweet message and post a sweet snap of the star and his wife.
