Paul Walker’s daughter Meadow shares photo with late father in honour of Mother’s Day

Paul Walker's daughter Meadow took to her Instagram to commemorate her late father in two posts honouring his memory on Mother's Day.

Meadow Rain Walker, 23, wrote the post to remember her actor father, who died aged 40 in 2013 as a result of a car accident in Valencia, California along with his friend Roger Rodas who was behind the wheel at the time.

Paul is probably best known for his role as Brian O'Conner in the Fast & Furious films and the throwback pics show a young Meadow being held by her late father.

Meadow, who lives in California, captioned one of the images: "Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful mothers in this world. On Mother's Day, I'd like to thank my pops for being the best parent in the world."

The model married actor Louis Thornton-Allan last October and has set up her own non-profit organisation called The Paul Walker Foundation in her father's memory.

She opened up to Vogue last year about her childhood and her memories with her father, she said: "'I was quite a tomboy growing up. The way I was raised, especially with my dad, there wasn’t a focus on [makeup]. We would do boys’ activities, roll around in the mud, play soccer and just be crazy.

"I grew up with crystals in the house and I actually have my dad’s entire collection, probably more than 30 - including massive ones the size of a laptop - in my apartment. I’ve been putting them out in the moonlight and charging them for as long as I can remember."

The model also shared a second image of her and her father as he looks down loving at her when she was just a toddler, she captioned the post on her Instagram stories: "To anyone who doesn't have a mom, I love you."

Meadow shared the news of her wedding, which took place on a beach in the Dominican Republic with her fans as she shared a black and white photo of the romantic ceremony on Instagram.

Amongst the guests at the star-studded ceremony was the model's godfather and her late father's co-star Vin Diesel.

The model tied the knot with her fiancé Louis Thornton-Allan on a beach in the Dominican Republic.

Sharing a black and white video of the romantic ceremony on Instagram – which was attended by her godfather and father Paul’s co-star, Vin Diesel – she simply wrote: “We’re married!!!”

The star, who rarely opens up about the tragedy she faced when she lost her father in 2013, also shared some traumatic news last November as she revealed she had been receiving treatment for a tumor.

Taking to her Instagram, Meadow shared the news of the tumor to her 3.2million followers, she wrote: “2 years ago today. I’ve come a very long way. Bye bye tumor. Blessed & grateful.”
