THOMAS Cohen  cradled his son Phaedra and held on tightly to his youngest Astala as they arrived at Fifi Geldof’s wedding to Andrew Robertson today  – in the same church he married and buried their mother Peaches.

The musician, who has brought the boys up following her tragic death in April 2014, looked smart in a blue suit while his adorable curly-haired sons looked the spitting image of their late mother.

Thomas married Peaches at St Mary Magdalene & St Lawrence Church's near Faversham in Kent in 2012 but just two years later he was burying her in the same place following an overdose.

Today Fifi, Peaches’ older sister married Andrew Robertson in the church – where her mother Paula Yates is also buried.

Paula died in 2000 in her Notting Hill home when Fifi, Peaches and Pixie were young girls.

Ahead of the nuptials a number of famous faces were seen arriving including Jools Holland and Made In Chelsea star Ashley James.

Fifi has thanked her followers online for their well wishes, but has stated that she will not be posting any photographs of her wedding online in the near future.

It’s thought the reception will take place in her dad Bob’s house which is conveniently connected to the church.

Marquees have been spotted in the garden as well as a team of gardeners, and fireworks were heard coming from the site last week as an apparent test run before the big day.

A neighbour told The Mirror: “I think a wedding is happening.

“I think they are all there. I can hear little voices, I think there are children there.”
