Esther’s husband Desmond, to
whom she was married for 23 years



A tearful Esther Rantzen said farewell last week to the man she called her “sunshine” as she was joined by 200 family and friends at the funeral of her husband Desmond Wilcox, who died at 69 after a long battle with heart problems.

Esther managed to remain composed until a singer performed the Irish folk ballad She Moves Through The Fair, which she and Desmond used to sing during their courtship. She was comforted by their children.
