TV presenter Phillip Schofield was supported by his wife Stephanie Lowe and their daughters at his late mother's funeral this week, where he was one of the pallbearers. It was announced just last month by a heartbroken Phillip that Patricia Schofield had passed away , aged 88. The dad-of-two, 62, paid tribute at the time in a post on social media and he expressed gratitude to those who had been involved in her care prior to her death.
A funeral was held for Patricia in Cornwall , which is where she had lived, on Friday. The service at St. Michaels Church in Newquay was attended by family and friends, including Phillip.
He was joined by his wife Stephanie, 60, as well as their daughters Molly Schofield, 31, and Ruby Schofield, 28. The service is said to have included music performed by the Cornish Kernow Mens Choir and framed photos of Patricia were placed around the church. Photos obtained by the Mirror show guests outside the venue in the community.
Former This Morning host Phillip was among the four pallbearers, with him seen carrying the casket out of the church alongside three other guests. Other photos show him interacting with fellow attendees at his mother's funeral. The wicker casket had a floral display, featuring an array of flowers including white roses, placed on top.
It was placed into the back of a hearse, where more floral tributes were laid out, by the pallbearers following the service. The family appeared to have been accompanied to the funeral by Phillip's d.
