“To say the boys are excited is the understatement of the year. They keep saying,’Daddy,when are we going,when can we see the kangaroos?’ Jeff knows how much they loved their mother but he feels they need to get right away from the media glare,” a friend of Brazier told the publication.

Brazier,who has the custody of the two children,wants to keep them away from the funeral as per the wishes of Goody,who did not want them to remember her as a dead person.

“Jeff realises there is an argument for the boys attending the funeral and staying here. But he thinks there is a much stronger argument for them to just get away from it and remember their mum as she was,” the friend added.

Goody,who died seven months after being diagnosed with cervical cancer at the age of 27,hated the idea that the last memory Bobby and Freddie would have of her would be in a “box surrounded by people crying”.
