Kate Garraway's daughter Darcey visited her father Derek Draper's grave on his birthday to share her A Level results with him. The Good Morning Britain host broke her social media silence to share the news.

Kate, who recently took a break from the ITV show after her dad was hospitalised, posted a heartfelt message and paid tribute to her late husband who passed away in January, the Mirror reports. Her daughter also received her exam results on what would have been Derek's 57th birthday.

Kate, 57, shared a video of flowers blossoming in her garden and began: "Congratulations to all who got their #alevel results this week - huge achievement - even if you're disappointed in the results - don't be - you made it to the end and life has a way of working itself out in the best way for you."

"Darcey got her results on another one of those firsts this year - Derek's birthday. She didn't get what she might have done but hey did better than any of us feared under the circumstances. I couldn't be prouder of her and know her Dad would be too. We went to Dad's grave to 'tell' him before she went out to celebrate with friends.", reports the Express.

Kate continued: "I'm at home and just noticed the roses I planted with @itv @loveyourgarden especially for Derek so we could wheel him out to enjoy the fragrance have suddenly burst into bloom! They haven't flowered all summer."

"So am just enjoying the incredible fragrance combined with the mint and raising a mug of tea to Derek - darling we did it - your beautiful daughter is on her way to her next stage in life thanks to your love and guidance and you will live on through her."
