Peaches’ funeral was held at the church she married Cohen in 2012 and sadly the same place which also hosted the funeral of her mother, Paula Yates in 2000 after she died of a suspected heroin overdose.

St Mary Magdalene and St Lawrence church in the village of Davington was also where Bob Geldof married Peaches mother, Paula Yates in 1986.

Following the news of his daughter’s death, Bob Geldof released a statement where he described his daughter as the “wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us”.

The towns streets were lined with flowers and photographs for Peaches who was raised in Kent.
