Hundreds of fans lined the streets on Wednesday morning for the funeral procession of The Wanted star Tom Parker in London.

Asked whether Parker's campaigning for brain tumour research in his final months had affected her, Ms Potter, who was carrying a framed picture of her son, said: "Of course it did, especially the BBC One interview that they did and the way he dealt with it. He has raised a lot of money for research, which is what it needs. It is raising the profile as well. He got away with it because it was Tom. The people outside, the people all around the world, is a credit to him - you. She added: "I will treasure every memory because life with you was never dull.
