The Home Counties are a group of counties in England - but what makes them the 'Home' Counties and why are they so synonymous with the rich and famous in the UK?
The funeral of Liam Payne is set to take place today. The details of the ceremony have been kept under wraps, leading to public speculation.
There is some dispute over whether Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, East Sussex and West Sussex should also be included in this group.The title 'Home Counties' is given to those areas that border London, reports the Daily Star. Those with disputed inclusion do not border London but are sometimes considered as Home Counties due to their close proximity and excellent connections to the capital city.
One reason could be that his ex-partner, Cheryl Tweedy, mother to their 7-year-old son Bear, resides in the Home Counties. Following their split in 2018, Liam reportedly helped Cheryl buy a £3.7million mansion, where she lives with Bear and her mother Joan. According to a source who spoke to The Sun, Liam's family reportedly desires the funeral to proceed smoothly and "without a hitch".A source told The Sun: "Liam's family want his funeral to go off without a hitch and right now opinions are strained when it comes to Roger."
