Richard E Grant has remembered his late wife, Joan Washington, saying he feels "grateful for the 38 years we had together".
Washington, a voice coach to celebrities including Penelope Cruz and Jessica Chastain, died in September last year at the age of 74.
Swazi-English actor Grant, known for films including Withnail and I and Can You Ever Forgive Me?, posted a video on Twitter showing him sitting in a sunny garden and reminiscing about the time the couple spent together.

The 65-year-old says: "Unexpected day off filming. Scrambled out to the Cotswolds to the cottage that my wife and I spent the last few months of her life in.
"Although it's obviously emotional being here, it’s incredibly calm and restorative, surrounded by all the seeds that we planted together, which have just grown like mad this glorious summer.
"Grateful for the 38 years we had together."
Turning to look at the camera and smiling, he adds: "Have a great weekend."
Grant married Washington in 1986 and they had a daughter, Olivia. Washington also had a son, Tom, from a previous relationship.
Although Grant did not give a cause of death in his initial announcement, he later confirmed his wife had died of lung cancer.
