Liam Payne was laid to rest this week with former bandmates Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik among the mourners
The world was left in shock following the tragic death of One Direction star Liam Payne , but his funeral was a private event attended by those closest to him. The singer, who passed away last month at just 31 years old, was laid to rest yesterday in the Home Counties.
Harry, 30, was the first to arrive, entering the church with actor James Corden. Niall, 31, arrived with his girlfriend Amelia Woolley, while Zayn, 31, and Louis, 32, thought to have remained closest to Liam following One Direction's indefinite hiatus, were seen in conversation. "They have been devastated by Liam's death. They were like brothers for their most formative years and shared so much history together. But coming face to face at such a tragic event must have been very difficult indeed."
Cheryl has maintained a friendly relationship with her ex-partner Liam, who moved closer to her and their son Bear after they split shortly following Bear's first birthday. In the wake of Liam's tragic passing, Cheryl released a deeply moving statement: "As I try to navigate this earth-shattering event and work through my own grief at this indescribably painful time, I'd like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being.
"I am begging you to consider what use some of these reports are serving other than to cause further harm to everyone left behind picking up the pieces. Before you leave comments or make videos, ask yourself if you would like your own child or family to read them. Please give Liam the little dignity he has left in the wake of his death to rest in some peace at last. Thank you, Cheryl."
