The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor admitted he had "shed a tear or two" when reflecting on happier times with Dorrie and will always be grateful to have shared a part of her life.
He added on the Instagram post: "98 years and I'm so glad I got to be a part of them and as I lie awake pondering and knowing that she too will pass soon now perhaps before I wake I pray I smile.
"I shed a tear or two at the memories of Sunday lunch with Yorkshire pudding (she made the best) and roast potatoes and beans from the allotment and pudding and humbugs and walks in the fields or alone the canals and knitted cardigans the love and history I am so grateful for my grandma Dorrie I love you.(sic)"
In the comments of his post, Orlando was given some support from his girlfriend Katy Perry.
