Jonnie Irwin celebrates milestone with his eldest son
The A Place In The Sun star marked his son's final journey to nursery.
Jonnie Irwin has celebrated sharing his eldest son's last ever journey to nursery.
The A Place In The Sun presenter - who announced in November 2022 he has terminal lung cancer which has spread to his brain - posted photographs on social media of himself and four-and-a-half-year-old Rex cycling to nursery.
Irwin, 49, captioned the pictures: "Last EVER ride to nursery with Rex. Suitably waved off by Rafa and his spade and Rex with his game face on!"

Rex will be old enough to start Primary school in September.
Irwin and wife Jess, who he married in 2016, are also parents to three-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac.
The TV star was given six months by doctors to live back in 2020 when he received his diagnosis and has said doctors did not expect him to see 2023.
In March he told how he celebrated his 50th birthday early and has already bought 18th birthday presents for his sons.
He recently shared a post of himself cycling with all three of his sons in a trailer, even though he admitted to being "a lot weaker these days".
The Escape To The Country presenter was diagnosed with lung cancer in August 2020 after his vision went blurry while away filming Channel 4 property show A Place In The Sun. But he kept his diagnosis a secret for two years.
Chemotherapy and cancer drugs have helped extend the initial prognosis and the TV presenter is determined to make the most of any time he has left with his family.
In July Irwin revealed that he has been receiving palliative care for the past three years, insisting that hospice care did not have to mean "doom and gloom".
The TV presenter admitted he had "up days and down days" but revealed he was "feeling good".
Irwin attended the TRIC Awards in June and said: "I wanted to show that because you have cancer it doesn't mean you are a different person.

“You can still work. Look at me now. I don't think the doctors were expecting me to make 2023 but here I am and I'm available at work."
