Kelsey Parker was flooded with messages of love and support from famous friends after revealing that she had just gone through one of the toughest weekends since her husband Tom's passing.
The Wanted's Tom Parker sadly passed away on 30th March after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour.
Tom's fans, bandmates, and family members were invited to join Kelsey in April for an incredibly emotional funeral as they said their final goodbyes to the singer.
The mum-of-two revealed she had attended her best friend's wedding over the weekend, and couldn't help but think of her late husband during the celebrations.

She shared a photo from the day to Instagram, revealing that the seat beside her at the wedding ceremony had been saved for Tom.
"The year of firsts," she wrote in the caption. "My first wedding without my love. I knew this was going to be the toughest weekend and I knew my head would be all over the place.
"This weekend for me was so bittersweet, I was watching my best friend marry the love of her life yet 7 weeks ago I lost mine."
She continued: "The thing about death is that even though I have suffered the most traumatic experience the world keeps turning. The sun keeps shining and I know Tom was watching over me especially when the sun was beaming on us all day.
"I really enjoyed myself this weekend and it was so nice to actually let my hair down and be Kelsey. I raised a glass to my boy and I know he’s up there having shots.

"There were moments when my heart would ache, moments when the tears wouldn't stop rolling down my face and moments where I laughed until my belly hurt. In this crazy world - Life is for living".

His funeral took place at St Francis of Assisi church in Petts Wood, in south-east London last month. Kelsey was seen bidding her husband a final goodbye before the hearse drove away.
