Natasha’s son Daniel Neeson, 27, who she shared with actor Liam Neeson, also shared a heartbreaking tribute to his late mother.
Underneath a stunning black and white portrait of her, he wrote: “15 years since you’ve left this plane onto forever more.”
“I look forward to reuniting one day but for now I take solace in knowing you’re beside me every step of the way.

He added in part of his post: “If you can, raise a glass today to the great Natasha Richardson and let her know we all miss her down here. ♥️”
