While for many Father's Day means pub lunches and long walks, for those who have lost their dad it holds special meaning.Three months on from the death of The Wanted singer Tom Parker, his wife Kelsey is turning the day into a celebration of Tom's love for their young children – Aurelia, two, and 20-month-old Bodhi.The family will admire the card Aurelia made her daddy at nursery, and talk about Tom – as they do every day.

In a sit down chat, Kelsey tells OK!: "Aurelia's nursery school has asked me about making cards and they said, 'We know she will be able to cope with making a card' and she talks about her dad to them, so I'm more than happy for her to make a card for her dad.'

"It will be hard for me, but for the children I don't think it will be as hard this year. "As they get older they'll ask more questions about Father's Day." Tom tragically died after an 18-month battle with a brain tumour in March, but remained positive up until the end, determined to enjoy every day he had with his children.
