Masses of mourners gathered in south-east London this week for the funeral of The Wanted singer Tom Parker, who died just last month.

The star had been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour back in October 2020 but sadly passed away on Wednesday 30th March 2022.

Although Tom's wife Kelsey had chosen to invite fans along to his funeral this week to celebrate the singer's life, she chose to keep their children Aurelia, three, and Bodhi, one, at home.

However, Kelsey made sure that her and Tom's children were represented properly on the day.

Following Tom's coffin, carried by his The Wanted bandmates, in the funeral procession, was a large floral arrangement made as a tribute from Aurelia and Bodhi.

Made of flowers in a rainbow of different colours, the arrangement spelled out the word 'Daddy.'

At the top of the arrangement sat two black pieces of card, each one with a little handprint of Tom's children in gold paint.

Outside of the Church, one flower arrangement spelled out ''Glad You Came' the title of one of The Wanted's hit songs that charted globally.

Tom's bandmates Max George, Nathan Sykes, Jay McGuiness, and Siva Kaneswaran also made sure to leave a special mark following Wednesday's funeral.

The tribute involved a compilation of behind-the-scenes clips and footage from the band's tours, music videos and photoshoots, set to their hit song Gold Forever.

The single, which was released in 2011 in support of Red Nose Day, was played at the end of Parker's funeral service as his coffin was carried out of St Francis of Assisi church in Petts Wood.

In lieu of gifts or flowers, Kelsey has requested that people donate to her GoFundMe account, which will donate funds to charities in Tom's name.
