The Strawbridges have had an emotional few days saying goodbye 

Fans of the show have loved seeing Dick with his eldest son, with one writing: "The whole time you have been with your new family I missed seeing your older son who has turned out to be a lovely man. I cannot wait to see you together again" and another adding: "He is such a handsome young man and memories will be in your heart. Hope you can reunite soon."

The video of James saw him singing a special song entitled, 'Father and son.' which he dedicated to his beloved father.

Dick shares his two youngest children with his current wife Angel, and both feature heavily in their hit show and even went on tour with their famous parents earlier in the year, travelling around the UK to meet with fans.

Dick also has a daughter, Charlotte, 34, from his first marriage to Brigit Strawbridge Howard.

James is a professional chef, photographer and published author (as well as a musician, judging by the video), while Charlotte is a photographer, painter and musician. Clearly creativity runs in the family!
