Former footballer Vinne Jones has shared the last card his late wife Tanya gave him and said it has been "overwhelming to feel so much love".

Jones has spoken candidly about his grief following the death of his wife Tanya, aged 53, after a six-year battle with cancer. 

He chronicles their story in his new book Lost Without You.

Writing on Twitter, Jones said: "Lets start the journey with this last card Tansy sent me xxx.

"I would just like to thank everybody for their really kind messages and support towards myself and especially Tansy.

"It is overwhelming to feel so much love from this great country of people. Thank you, Vinnie."

The accompanying photos show a card reading: "Always believe something wonderful is about to happen."

Inside Tanya had written: "To my love Vin,  Something wonderful happens to me every day...Being with you! You are my morning sunshine the moment I wake.

"With all my love, Tanya."

Speaking on Piers Morgan's Life Stories at the weekend, Jones said that he will never remarry. 

The couple were together for 27 years and married for 25.
