Pixie Geldof enjoys lunch with friends in Primrose Hill as family prepare to mark the 12th anniversary of her late sister Peaches’ death
Pixie Geldof was all smiles as she enjoyed lunch with friends in London’s Primrose Hill ahead of the 12th anniversary of her late sister Peaches’ death.
The 35-year-old model kicked off the Easter weekend with a lavish meal at Lemonia restaurant with close friends on Friday.

Sir Bob Geldof’s late daughter Peaches died tragically from a heroin overdose on 7 April 2014, aged 25; The same fate that befell his mother Paula in 2000.
Paula and Bob had three children, Fifi, Pixie and Peaches, before they divorced in 1996. He later married Jeanne Marine in 2015, and the actress helped him raise his children following Paula’s death.
Although the family has suffered great losses, they live a normal life away from attention, with their spouses and children.

As part of one of Britain’s most famous families, they once lived their lives in the spotlight.
But when tragedy struck the clan in the Noughties, the famous lineage’s trajectory took a very different direction.
Following her death, the Boomtown Rats star also adopted Paula’s daughter, Tiger Lily, whom she shared with the late Michael Hutchence.
Bob became Tiger’s legal guardian and officially adopted him in 2007, determined to steer him away from the showbiz spotlight.
Bob said his second wife, Jeanne, helped him raise his daughters and has previously said his children “wouldn’t have survived” without her.
The musician even proposed to Jeanne, days after Peaches’ death, who he said ‘brought air into the room’ at a time when Fifi and Pixie were ‘in pain’.
After Bob became Tiger Lily’s legal guardian, it was Jeanne’s influence who supported the then four-year-old through this difficult time.
Gerry Agar previously told DailyMail: ‘Tiger has been completely raised and completely loved by Bob’s wife Jeanne, so he’s very stable.
‘They were very strict with him and Tiger is incredibly un-Peaches-like. He wants to please them.’
Tiger is the last of Bob’s children to marry after Pixie and Fifi, 42, came of age in 2017 and 2016 respectively.
Pixie has been married to These New Puritans drummer George Barnett since 2017, when the couple tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Majorca.
Close friends Alexa and Daisy Lowe were bridesmaids; Guests included Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles and Nick Grimshaw.

The couple has a daughter who was born in August 2021, but the parents keep her away from the public and have never revealed her name.
Pixie has carved out a career for herself in modeling after first gracing the cover of Tatler in 2008.
She also appeared in the music industry as the lead singer of the band Violet before releasing her own album I’m Yours in November 2016.
The couple, who keep their family life private, are often seen together at events, most recently stepping out in style at Milan Fashion Week in February.
Meanwhile, Fifi, who stays away from the spotlight and works in public relations, married her husband Andrew Robertson in 2016.
The couple married at St Mary Magdalene and St Lawrence church in Kent, where her mother and Peaches are buried.
Since it wasn’t right to have her sisters with her without Peaches, she decided not to have Pixie and Tiger Lily as bridesmaids.
Fifi referred to herself as the ‘unknown Geldof’ after making an active decision to shun the spotlight that dazzled the rest of her family.
