James 'Arg' Argent says Tom Parker's presence was felt at funeral as he remembers close friend

James 'Arg' Argent has spoken about Tom Parker's funeral as he was laid to rest following his tragic death last month, aged just 33. The Wanted singer's celebration of life took place on Wednesday (March 20) with his heartbroken wife Kelsey leading the mourners.

She had invited fans to line the streets ahead of the service for family and friends at the St Francis of Assisi church in Petts Wood, south-east London which was then played on to screens outside.

Tom's death came 17 months after he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in 2020. He revealed the news of his diagnosis to fans in October 2020 when Kelsey, was pregnant with their second child, Bodhi, who is now one. The couple, who married in 2018, also shared two-year-old daughter, Aurelia.
