Flurry of activity in 19 minutes: Peaches Geldoff uploaded seven touching pictures in less than 20 minutes
The beautiful socialite uploaded the series of pictures onto her Twitter and Instagram accounts the day before she died.
She tweeted a series of links to the photos between 5.58pm on April 6th and ending at 6.17pm with a happy throwback shot of her and Paula, in which she simply captioned: 'Me and my mum'.
Four of the images showed her 11-month-old son Phaedra in a range of happy poses, while another focused on an Easter display populated with hand-made cards.

two sons and loved to share images - including this one of her son

Another was of a new outfit which she had bought for her boy Astala, saying: 'Bought Astala a cool summer look! Liberty print caftan with matching shorts in a different colour and little navy blue sandals.
'Got it all from Zara home who are now stocking Liberty own brand in store. So cute! Astala aka Brian Jones...'
One heart-wrenching picture shows Phaedra looking through old images of Peaches as a child. 'Phaedy's fave thing is to look at old photos of mama, seriously! So cute x,' she wrote.
The last thing she posted to her Instagram account, which has over 156,000 followers, were two videos, which showed she was keen to capture her sons' childhood.

5.58pm: The mother-of-two bought new clothes for her boy Astala - and showed them off in detail
6.17pm: Peaches tweeted a photo of her in the arms of her late mother, Paula Yates
In her last-ever
interview, Peaches spoke candidly of how she owed her life to her children and said: ‘I am not
about to let them down, not for anyone or anything.’
She said that becoming a mother had healed a ‘rudderless and troubled’ childhood, and that she wanted everyone to know parenthood was ‘the best thing you’ve ever done’.
The interview, less than a month before her death today, with Mother & Baby magazine was centred on ‘attachment parenting’ – sleeping in the same room, preferably the same bed as the baby, as well as long-term breastfeeding.
The mother of Astala, 24 months and Phaedra, one, told how her own experience of attachment parenting from her nanny before the divorce of her mother Paula and father Bob ‘saved me from losing it’.
She described ‘attachment parenting’ as responding to a baby's needs and building bonds through closeness and trust. And she said she received a great deal of help from Sue Cohen, mother of her husband, Tom.
‘Becoming a mother was like becoming me, finally,’ she said.
‘After years of struggling to know myself, feeling lost at sea, rudderless and troubled, having babies through which to correct the multiple mistakes of my own traumatic childhood was beyond healing.
Peaches was supposed to start a regular column offering advice, based on her own experience, of bringing up her children.
The magazine said: ‘M&B’s new columnist… Peaches Geldof! The It Girl turned Earth Mother will be sharing her mummy moments and views on bringing up babies, from attachment parenting to juggling work and family.’
She defined attachment parenting as building trust and love with her children, by abandoning what she called ‘arms-length’ advice on parenting. Becoming a mother has really broken me, but in the best possible way!’ she said.
