Bob leads tributes at Peaches funeral

Sir Bob Geldof is expected to pay tribute to his daughter Peaches as a host of stars from the music world attend her funeral today.

They will gather to remember Ms Geldof at the same church where the funeral of her mother Paula Yates was held.

Bono, Annie Lennox and Jools Holland are expected to be among the mourners at St Mary Magdalene and St Lawrence Church, the Sun on Sunday reported.

The church, in the village of Davington, near Faversham, Kent, is also where the 25-year-old television presenter, model and socialite married musician Tom Cohen, the father of her children, in 2012.

And it is also where television presenter Yates, who died from an accidental heroin overdose in 2000, aged 41, married Geldof in 1986.

The Geldof family said the service will be private.

Mystery still surrounds the sudden death of Ms Geldof on April 7.

Her body was found at the home she shared with her husband and their two young sons, Astala, 23 months, and 11-month-old Phaedra, in Wrotham, Kent, after officers were called “following a report of concern for the welfare of a woman”.

Former Boomtown Rats singer Geldof paid tribute to his daughter alongside his partner Jeanne Marine, and Ms Geldof’s sisters Fifi Trixibelle, Pixie and Tiger, saying she was the “wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us”.

Kent Police said it was being treated as a “non-suspicious, unexplained sudden death”.

An inquest is not expected to be opened and adjourned by the coroner until after the results of toxicology tests are known.
