‘Thank you for bringing your bright light and much laughter into our lives every day’.
Fans were quick to point out the likeness between the father and son in the comments of the photo, which showed Buster holding up his birthday card.
‘He is your double,’ one fan said, while another commented: ‘Spit of your Dad!!’ followed by a love heart emoji.
