Family, friends and former bandmates have remembered Liam Payne at the One Direction star’s funeral, just over a month after he died aged 31.

The private service took place on Wednesday in Amersham in Buckinghamshire, northwest of London.

Payne’s former bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik were among the mourners, alongside Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy and his former partner Cheryl, with whom he shares a son.

Payne’s casket arrived at the church on a white horse-drawn hearse with floral tributes bearing the words “son” and “daddy.”

After the service, four pallbearers carried the coffin from St Mary’s Church, followed by his parents and Cheryl.

Her Girls Aloud bandmates Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts also attended the service, as did One Direction’s former label boss Simon Cowell, who comforted the family.

Presenters James Corden, Marvin and Rochelle Humes, Scott Mills and Adrian Chiles were also among the mourners.

Other floral tributes at the funeral included one in the form of a set of bowling pins and a 10-pin ball, a reference to one of Payne’s favorite pastimes.

A small crowd of locals and onlookers gathered outside the church, but fans largely stayed away, with members of the One Direction group on Reddit reminding others that “memorials are for fans, funerals are for family.”

Payne lived in the nearby village of Chalfont St Giles.

Payne died on October 16 after falling from the third floor of a hotel room in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires.

In a short statement after his death, his family said: “We are heartbroken. Liam will live on in our hearts forever and we will remember him for his kind, funny and courageous soul.”

An autopsy confirmed that the 31-year-old had suffered internal and external bleeding and multiple traumatic injuries.

Payne was one of the most recognizable names in pop music after rising to fame on The X Factor.

Despite only coming third at the 2010 show, One Direction went on to become the biggest British group since The Beatles.

During their five-year career they sold 70 million records, including four number one singles in Britain and four number one albums.

Payne co-wrote many of their hits and also achieved solo success with songs such as Strip That Down and Bedroom Floor.

He is survived by his parents, two sisters and Bear, his son with Girls Aloud singer Cheryl.
