Hundreds of fans lined the streets for a procession ahead of the funeral of The Wanted star Tom Parker on Wednesday.

The pop singer’s widow, Kelsey, whom he married in 2018, led a cortege featuring three black horses through Petts Wood in south-east London on Wednesday morning.

Flowers spelling out the word “Daddy” adorned the side of the carriage while a flowered sign that spelled the word “Tom” in red roses was attached to the front.

How did Tom Parker die?

The 33-year-old died on March 30 after being diagnosed with brain cancer in 2020.

The singer leaves behind two children, Aurelia, two, and Bodhi, one, as well as wife Kelsey.
