Socialite Peaches Geldof's private funeral will be held today, April 21, at St. Mary Magdalene and St. Lawrence Church in England's Kent County.

The church is the same location as Geldof's wedding to S.C.U.M. frontman Thomas Cohen in 2012, her parents' marriage in 1986, and her mother, Paula Yates' funeral in 2000.

Among those paying their respects are Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson, supermodel Kate Moss, former Rolling Stones guitarist Bill Wyman, and British journalists Nick Grimshaw and Mariella Frostrup. Geldof's father, Irish singer-songwriter Bob Geldof, will deliver the eulogy.

After the British beauty's sudden death on April 7, her father and sisters wrote a touching public statement.

"Peaches has died. We are beyond pain," the statement read.

"She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us. Writing 'was' destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable?"

Geldof was 25-years old when she passed. A cause of death is pending toxicology results after an inconclusive autopsy. Police are treating the death as "unexplained and sudden."

Geldof began writing for Elle Magazine when she was 15 years old, and went on to write for The Telegraph and the Guardian. She also had a successful modeling career-- walking in London Fashion Week and becoming the face of "Miss Ultimo."

Geldof leaves behind her husband and two sons, Astala, who turned two-years old today, and Phaedra, who will turn one on April 24.

Cohen stated that the boys will grow up knowing and loving their mother.

"My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons Astala and Phaedra," a statement from Cohen read.

"I shall bring them up with their mother in their hearts every day. We shall love her forever."
