Gethin Jones has announced the sad passing of his beloved father Goronwy Jones, paying a moving tribute to the man he described as an inspiration to so many.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, Gethin shared a poignant photo of his dad in hospital alongside the caption: "Wales defeated England…" - a famous line from Welsh entertainer Max Boyce.

The 47-year-old went on to recall their final night together, writing: "Hymns and Arias with Dad last night, before he left us this morning. The most perfect, peaceful end. Welsh hymns playing, and the grandsons on speaker phone saying goodbye."

Gethin revealed that his father had been unwell for some time, but had shown remarkable resilience throughout his illness.
