Ruth Langsford took to Instagram on Wednesday to ask fans for support in an emotional post.
Alongside a photo of herself in a pretty blue blazer with a floral badge, Ruth wrote: "This month I'm wearing my @alzheimerssoc forget me not badge in memory of my darling Dad Dennis.
"May is Alzheimer’s Society Forget Me Not Appeal. By wearing a badge and supporting the appeal, supporters are showing people affected by dementia that they understand and stand with them. The badge is a symbol of solidarity and a message to everyone affected by dementia that they have not been forgotten."

Ruth's father Dennis sadly passed away in 2012 from complications caused by dementia and was cared for by her mother for the last 13 years of his life.

I had no idea, none of us had any idea when he died. Did he want to be buried, cremated? We didn't know, so we kind of guessed.
