Peaches Geldof funeral: Coffin adorned with her family’s painted pictures
Family and friends have paid their last respects to Peaches Geldof, at her funeral in Kent.
Mourners included Sarah Ferguson, Nick Grimshaw, Bill Wyman and Kate Moss.
Peaches Geldof’s father, Sir Bob Geldof, was due to give a eulogy during the service, in the church where she was married two years ago.
It is also where the funeral was held for her mother Paula Yates in 2000.
Peaches Geldof, 25, died suddenly two weeks ago at her home.
Flowers were laid outside the St Mary Magdalene and St Lawrence Church in Davington, near Faversham, on Monday morning.
Located next to Bob Geldof’s Davington Priory country estate, where Peaches grew up, the streets were lined with well-wishers and photographers ahead of the service.
A hearse carrying her sky blue coffin drew into the estate shortly before 13:00 BST. It was adorned with a painted picture of Peaches Geldof, her husband Thomas Cohen, their two young sons and pet dogs.
