Remembrance: Jack Tweed tidies flowers at the grave of his late wife Jade Goody on the second anniversary of her death


Jade Goody's mother and widower made an emotional visit to her grave yesterday as they remembered the tragic reality star two years after her death.

Jack Tweed, 23, and Jackiey Budden, 52, made separate visits just 15 minutes apart to the Big Brother star's final resting place in Epping Forest Burial Park in Essex.

It was exactly two years to the day that mother-of-two Goody lost her battle with cervical cancer when she was just 27.


After laying flowers, nightclub promoter Tweed took time to read cards and messages left by other mourners.

He also took to his Twitter page to pay an online tribute to his late wife on Tuesday morning: 'Two years today, never forgotten, miss you. x.'

Following his visit to the graveside, he added: 'Thanks for everyone's kind words today means a lot.'

Shortly after Tweed's visit, his estranged mother-in-law appeared alone after earlier visiting a local beauty salon.

Also laying a floral tribute, she took some time out to contemplate her only child on the painful day.

Budden's appearance at her daughter's resting place comes two months after she admitted attempting suicide.

The former drug addict has openly admitted struggling to come to terms with her daughter's death and slit her wrists near her Bermondsey home in south-east London.

Tweed and Budden both appeared in a TV special last night celebrating the life of Goody.

Tweed was 21 when he was left a widower just a month after marrying Goody in a lavish televised ceremony.


Her death at her Essex home on Mother's Day came just seven months after she was diagnosed with cervical cancer while appearing on Indian reality show Bigg Boss.

The Sky Living HD one-hour special entitled Jade Changed My Life features friends and family of Goody discussing her life and last few months.

Also expected at the grave today were Goody's two sons Bobby, seven, and Freddie, six.

The two boys have been living with their father, Dancing On Ice star Jeff Brazier, since her death.

TV presenter Brazier, 31, told this week's Now magazine: 'We'll mark the day and lay flowers as we regularly do, but it'll be more out of respect for her.

'We talk about Jade every day. It's very important to keep her memory alive.'

Brazier, who split from Goody when she was pregnant with Freddie, has kept the boys out of the public eye since her death.
