Natalya Wright shared a selection of tributes to her and TOWIE star Mark Wright’s grandad Eddie after giving him a ‘send off like no other’ following his death aged 92
The Wright family paid their respects to grandfather Eddie following his death aged 92.
The family gathered for his funeral after he died just weeks after Mark Wright announced he is set to become a father. Now, following the funeral, Mark’s sister Natalya took to social media to share a touching tribute to her grandfather.
Taking to Instagram Stories, he 24-year-old uploaded a number of images from the tough day. The first showed a black-and-white image of Natalya holding roses in front of family floral tributes. She captioned the post: “The day after. I really can’t believe you are gone. Until we meet again grandad.”
She quickly followed it up with another black-and-white shot of the tributes, including an old-fashioned football which read: “Eddie Wright. 1932 – 2025.”
Adding colour to her Stories, she then shared more floral designs. The first had a throwback image of Eddie as she wrote: “Simply the best. I hope we did you proud grandad. A send off like no other for one very special man.”
She then showed designs including a pair of red boxing gloves. There were also wreaths reading “grandad,” “Eddie,” and “Dad”. Adding her own tribute to the upload, Natalya penned: “Our Legend.. my Hero,” alongside a broken heart emoji.
In her last post, she shared a snap of her hugging into Eddie on a settee. She wrote: “It hurts so hard. Just wish I could see, feel & hug you again. Go get the rest that you deserve now grandad. I love you so much. The best of the best xx”
Eddie passed away earlier this month “surrounded by his loved ones”. He had been struggling with health issues since a fall in the summer, which resulted in him being hospitalised. The devastating news comes just week after former TOWIE star Mark shared a pregnancy announcement with wife Michelle Keegan.
Sharing the news of Eddie’s passing at the age of 92, a statement read: “Mark’s grandad passed away last night. He passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loved ones.”
His death comes after Mark’s dad Mark Snr. shared an update last year saying Eddie had been hospitalised as they marked Father’s Day. In his upload, Mark Snr shared a photo of Eddie sat in a vehicle and penned: “Happy Father’s Day to the best – unfortunately in hospital at the moment after a fall a couple of days ago, but dad I’m on my way up to see you now.” Mark Snr. finished his post telling Eddie to “keep strong”.
Days after Eddie’s death, Mark shared a touching tribute to his grandfather on social media. He posted a image of himself beaming while stood next to Eddie with his arm over him. Mark shared a heartfelt tribute to his grandad Eddie in the caption, labelling him a kind gentleman and a legend.
