    I think that this is easy.  You already have a formula Rich Text field on the children to display the Thumbnail.

    Make a formula field text field called [Thumbnail in Text format] with the formula just being Rich Text thumbnail field.

    Use a Combined Text Summary field to roll up those text Thumbnails to the Parent.  We need to do this because I believe that you cannot Summarize a Rich Text field type. ( not 100% sure of that ) 

    Make a formula Rich Text field called [All Thumbnails] on the Parent Record with this formula to remove the semi colon delimiters

    SearchAndReplace(ToText([Combined Text Thumbnail in Text format]), ";", "")


    ... that should work
