Emotional moment Patti Newton poses with her late husband Bert’s wax figure at Madame Tussauds in Sydney

Patti Newton has documented the emotional moment she posed with a wax figure of her late husband Bert Newton, two years after his death.

The 79-year-old stopped by Madame Tussauds in Sydney on Tuesday with two of her grandchildren and shared a video of them posing with Bert’s eerily lifelike figure.

“Seeing my beloved Bert at Madame Tussauds Sydney was overwhelming and very emotional for all of us,” she began her caption.

‘He looked wonderful and we loved seeing him. Xx’.

Patti’s fans raved about the heartwarming display, with one commenting: ‘This is the best!!! What a tribute to an amazingly talented man’.

‘How amazing for you and your family Patti,’ wrote another, while someone added: ‘Wonderful! I can only imagine how overwhelmed you would be!’

It comes after the veteran thespian revealed the heartwarming memory she always takes on stage to remember her late husband, who she was married to for 46 years before his death in 2021.

Speaking to TheWSTNews Australia in January, Patti said she always wears a diamond studded necklace in honor of her beloved husband.

‘It’s a bit of a secret but (it says) Bert and he travels everywhere with me,’ she said, flashing the statement piece tucked into the collar of her dress.

‘I love it. I feel that he is with me. I have quite a few things on me that belonged to Bert.

“He will always be a part of me,” she added.

Bert died in October 2021.

He had been receiving palliative care at a clinic in Melbourne at the time of his death.

Bert was admitted to hospital in March of that year and had leg surgery in May after his toe became infected before Christmas.

The infection was ‘linked to his diabetes’ and threatened his life, and doctors told him the operation was a ‘life or death decision’.

Doctors told Bert that if he kept the leg, he would only have ‘months left’ instead of years if he chose to amputate.

He is survived by children Matt and Lauren and grandchildren Sam, Eva, Lola, Monty, Perla and Alby.
