Tom Parker's wife says 'daddy came to see us' as daughter, 2, holds white feather

Tom Parker's wife Kelsey said 'daddy came to see us' as she shared a photo of their daughter Aurelia, two, holding a white feather.

The Wanted singer died at the age of 33 last month surrounded by his family and bandmates - 17 months after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour.

Tom and Kelsey had been married since 2018 and welcomed their son, Bodhi, in October last year and their daughter, Aurelia Rose, was born in 2019. In her latest update, Kelsey, 32, shared a photo of Aurelia intrigued by a white feather. She captioned the post: "Daddy came to see us at work @K2KSTARS."

Earlier this week, Kelsey shared a statement on Instagram announcing that a private service was to be held on April 20 in Queensway, Petts Wood, in south-east London. She added that it would be "beautiful" if those who wished to pay their respects would line the route as Parker's family and friends head to the church and that they could watch the service outside on screens relaying the ceremony.

The statement said: "There will be private celebration of life on Wednesday 20th April. We know many of you would like to pay your respects as well, so would love for you to join us in Petts Woods from 10am.

"It would be beautiful to have everyone line the route as we head to our private service. You are then welcome to join us outside the church for the duration where the service will be relayed on screens."

Kelsey also created a GoFundMe page following her husband's death to "keep Tom's memory alive forever" via donations to charitable causes instead of sending flowers and cards.
