Fans gather in Wolverhampton to pay their respects to Liam Payne following his death aged 31.
Up to 100 people looked on with their heads bowed as candles were lit and flowers were laid at the foot of the Lady Wulfrun statue outside St Peter’s Church in Wolverhampton on Friday.
Eimear Mitchell, from Birmingham, said she organised the event after she saw vigils had been held across the world but not in his home city.“It’s hard to describe what One Direction means to One Direction fans. A lot of us have been there since day one, which 15 or 14 years of our lives,” she told BBC Midlands Today.
“They’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me in my life, so they mean the world, and losing a part of that is horrible.” Ms Mitchell said she wrote “Wolverhampton’s own” on the sign placed on the statue to reflect Liam’s roots.
