Heartbreak­ing return for Peaches’ widower

- By Emma Pryer, TV EDITOR

THIS is the touching moment when Thomas Cohen returns to the church where he married and buried his beloved wife Peaches Geldof.

The widower was carrying their four-year-old Phaedra and holding the hand of son Astala, aged three, to sister-in-law Fifi Geldof’s wedding.

The rocker, 26, wearing an electric blue suit and red-tinted aviator shades was among the first to arrive at St Mary Magdalene & St Lawrence Church in Davington, Kent. Thomas put on a brave face and the children looked adorable in dark suits.

Fifi, 33, married sand sculptor Andrew Robertson with musician Jools Holland, 58, and former Made in Chelsea star Ashley James among the guests.

Sir Bob, 64, was due to walk his daughter down the aisle.

Peaches, 25, died of a heroin overdose in 2014 in a chilling echo of her mum Paula Yates’ death in 2000, aged 41, at her West London home in Notting Hill.

Preparatio­ns for the wedding had been under way all week, with marquees put up near the church.

The bride herself revealed via social media she had got her “wedding nails and feet” done and thanked people for their good wishes. The wedding comes a year after Bob wed his actress girlfriend of 18 years Jeanne Marine in the South of France.

Mr Robertson runs Dirtybeach, which creates sand sculptures on beaches to make light-hearted political and environmen­tal points.

He has appeared on the BBC’s Dragons’ Den programme.
