She continued, “And for looking after our dogs when we can’t , and lead us to remember happy things when we can’t. And turn up when we are sick and sit with us . . And send balloons and check in and pull us out of wells with love..”

The late British TV director, known for his projects like “Between the Lines” and “Red Mercury,” married Beckinsale’s mother in 1997.
Loe’s first husband and Beckinsale’s father, Richard Beckinsale, died from a heart attack in 1979.
