Tom Parker’s wife Kelsey has given her late husband a heartbreaking final goodbye at his funeral. 

Tom, who was a member of the hugely successful band The Wanted, died last month at the age of just 33 after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. You can watch Kelsey’s sweet goodbye to Tom here:

At his funeral on Wednesday, which Tom's family opted to share with the public, Kelsey was seen bidding her husband a final goodbye before the hearse drove away.

Kelsey also addressed attendees at the service during a pre-recorded message which was played at St Francis of Assisi church in Petts Wood, in south-east London.

During the message, the mother-of-two explained how the pair first met at a nightclub before he shot to fame in The Wanted.

She said: “Tom told me he was going to be famous and wouldn’t have time for a girlfriend, but he wouldn’t leave me alone.”

"I will treasure every memory because life with you was never dull. You were always coming up with songs, new game shows and we all know how much you loved an invention – I bet you were gutted you never made it on Dragons’ Den.

“Marrying you was the best day of my life… soulmates, that’s what we are.”

The service ended with Parker’s coffin being carried out of the church to The Wanted’s hit single Gold Forever.
