Liam Payne is buried.
Mourners gathered at St Mary’s Church in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, England, on November 20 to remember the former One Direction singer, who fell to his death from his hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 16.
Payne’s bandmates Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson were on hand to pay their respects.
The singer’s girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, was one of the first to arrive, according to Yahoo Entertainment UK. She was accompanied by model and actor Damian Hurley.
Payne’s ex-girlfriend Cheryl Cole was also there with their 7-year-old son Bear (not pictured). Cole was supported by her Girls Aloud bandmate Nicola Roberts.
Other mourners included Simon Cowell, who made One Direction superstars in 2010, his wife Lauren and former The late-late show host James Corden.
A horse-drawn carriage transported the blue casket for the funeral service. The word “son” was spelled out in red flowers on top of the hearse.
Other floral displays included the word “Dad” in white roses and a bowling ball and pin – a favorite hobby of Payne’s.
Payne’s father, Geoff Payne, who flew to Argentina during the tragedy and investigation, was pictured with his wife Karen outside the private funeral. Payne, who was 31, is survived by his parents and his sisters Nicola and Ruth.
Spectators gathered on the streets of Amersham, northwest London, to pay a final tribute to Payne, who grew up in Wolverhampton.
The singer was on an extended trip to Buenos Aires when he tragically died after falling from the balcony of his hotel room on the third floor of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. He was in a state of “semi-or total unconsciousness,” local authorities said after an investigation. Toxicology tests confirmed Payne was under the influence of drugs in the lead-up to the incident.
Three people were arrested for “illegal conduct” in connection with Payne’s death. They were charged with crimes including abandonment of a person followed by death, supplying and facilitating narcotics.
