Peaches Geldof’s funeral in same church as mother’s

The funeral for the daughter of musician Bob Geldof and late TV personality Paula Yates will be held at the St. Mary Magdalene and St. Lawrence Church in Davington, reported the New York Daily News. It is the same church at which the funeral for Yates, who died of a heroin overdose, was held in 2000.

Peaches’ body was handed over to her family by the coroner April 10 and now will be taken to the church where she was also christened. She also got married in the same church in 2012, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Peaches’ father Bob Geldof will give a eulogy at the service, which will be an invite-only for friends and family, similar to Paula’s ceremony.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Bob is keen to speak as he did at the funeral of Paula and his dad Bob Sr in Dublin, but he knows it won’t be easy. The family are completely exhausted and trying to organise a memorable final farewell for Peaches.”
