She shared a snap of Leslie beaming in front of a birthday cake and another of him next to a bed filled with balloons and the number 90 spelt out in flowers on it.
She wrote: ‘My Dad loved loved the sun! He’d be that guy sitting on a rock .. no sun cream, no fancy sun bed, telling his daft stories and singing funny songs he’d made up to make us laugh!
‘He came from South Africa and moved to the U.K. in the 1950’s and that’s where his heart and soul was.

The TV star is currently on day six of her lavish getaway with her daughter Constance, 21, and continues to give fans an update on her Instagram Story.
She explained in a video: ‘Mother daughter vacation day six and were still talking although Connie did spend a bit of time in the room yesterday, think i was getting on her nerves.’
Jenny shares her children, Pollyanna and Constance with her ex-husband, Toby Baxendale, whom she separated from in 2009.
She has since found love with sports therapist Martin.
Last year, Jenny left fans stunned as her lookalike daughter Connie, 19, joined her interview for a chat, with one viewer even commenting that ‘they’re like twins.’
Her UCL student daughter then joined the virtual chat from her home in London (Jenny was in Cheshire), where she described her mum as a ‘big personality’.
Speaking of their close relationship, she added: ‘She calls me enough – but I’m missing her.’
However, viewers couldn’t get over their similarity, with one tweeting: ‘Wow, they’re like twins. Jenny never ages! Stunning!’
