Following the tragic passing of his wife’s mother-in-law, Fay Duncan, last Sunday, Hugh Jackman has been a pillar of strength for his bereaved wife, Deborra-Lee Furness.
Since posting a heart-warming tribute to the late Fay on Instagram earlier this week, Hugh has once again shown his love for his mother-in-law by singing a commemorative song at her funeral in Toorak, Melbourne, on Thursday.
According to the Herald Sun, Hugh and Deborra-Lee were surrounded by family and friends, including celebrities Eric Bana, and Bert and Patti Newton.
During the morning service, the Aussie actor paid homage to the 81-year-old by performing a touching rendition of Quiet Please, There’s a Lady on Stage, which was followed by Aussie singer Kate Ceberano’s cover of Amazing Grace.
As the funeral came to a close, Deborra-Lee was seen waving goodbye as the hearse drove away from the church – her 47-year-old husband stood by her side, holding her tightly.
Mrs Duncan founded the Bone Marrow Donor Institute, and was an avid advocate of Fight Cancer Foundation. This year, she received an Order of Australia medal in recognition of her work.
Hugh and Deborra-Lee, our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
