    Peaches Geldof's funeral took place at St Mary Magdalene church in Davington, Kent, England on Sunday.

    Kate Moss and her husband Jamie Hince, Trudie Styler, Sarah Ferguson, Jools Holland, Nick Grimshaw, Jo Wood, TV presenter Alexa Chung, Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell, singer Eliza Doolittle, actress Jaime Winstone and Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman were among the mourners to pay their last respects to the 25-year-old star, who was found dead at her home in Wrotham, Kent exactly two weeks ago on April 7.


    Peaches' father Sir Bob Geldof gave an emotional eulogy during the private service and her younger sister Pixie Geldof, 23, also spoke in the church, where Peaches' married Thomas Cohen two years ago.

    Her sisters Fifi, 31, and Tiger-Lily, 17, also attended the funeral.

    A hearse carrying her sky blue coffin, adorned with a painted picture of the blonde beauty, her husband, their sons Phaedra, 11 months, and Astala, 23 months, and their dogs, arrived in the area shortly before 1pm GMT.

    Peaches' ashes are expected to be scattered in the garden of Sir Bob's Davington Priory country estate, where the former model grew up.

    The streets were lined with well-wishers as mourners arrived for the service.

    Peaches' death is being treated as "non-suspicious", but an autopsy proved to be inconclusive earlier this month.

    The star's family now have an agonising wait while toxicology tests are carried out.
