Liam Payne was laid to rest on November 20 and his former One Direction bandmates came together to pay tribute to him.
The memorial service was held in Amersham, England and in a video of the event, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik all came together to pay tribute to their late brother.
All members wore suits to the event and Horan and his girlfriend Amelia Woolley attended the funeral.
New York Post Office reported that X factor judge and former boss of One Direction, Simon Cowell, was also present at the funeral.
Payne’s girlfriend at the time of his death, Kate Cassidy, was said to have been one of the first to arrive at the ceremony. She entered the ceremony with Elizabeth Hurley’s son, Damian Hurley.
Payne’s ex, Cheryl Cole, the mother of their son, Bear, was also present at the funeral. Agencies reported that Bear was not there. However, the late singer’s parents were both present there.
Notably, it was reported that only close friends and family were invited to the funeral.
Payne’s final resting place is not far from where the singer was born. The star was born in Wolverhampton, 13 miles northwest of Birmingham in the West Midlands.
Payne was laid to rest two weeks after his father brought his body back from Argentina, where he died on October 16 after falling from the third-floor balcony of his hotel room in Buenos Aires. He is 31 years old.
His father arrived shortly after his death and helped assist local police in investigating his son’s death. After the inquest concluded, it was revealed that Payne had died from a fractured skull and died instantly in the fall. Police do not believe his fall was intentional.
The investigation into his death found that the singer had a number of substances in his system at the time of death, including pink cocaine.
So far, three people have been arrested in connection with Payne’s death, including a hotel employee accused of supplying him with drugs. Another is an unnamed Argentine businessman and friend of Payne, who has been accused of abandoning a person.
