Liam Payne’s private funeral took place today in England, bringing together close family, friends, and his former One Direction bandmates for a heartfelt farewell.

The memorial service for the beloved British singer, who tragically passed away at the age of 31 last month in Buenos Aires, was held at a church in the Home Counties.

According to reports, bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Zayn Malik were all expected to attend the intimate ceremony.

An insider revealed that Payne’s family worked diligently to create a fitting tribute for him. “Liam may have been a global superstar, but to his parents, Geoff and Karen, he will always be their little boy,” the source noted. “It is going to be an incredibly difficult day.”

While the exact location of the funeral remains private, it is known that the Home Counties encompass several regions surrounding London.

Payne’s girlfriend, American influencer Kate Cassidy, and his ex-partner, Cheryl Tweedy, who shares a 7-year-old son named Bear with him, were also anticipated to be present.

Media reports have indicated that Payne’s close friend, Rogelio ‘Roger’ Nores, will not attend the funeral. Nores was reportedly among three individuals detained by authorities following Payne’s tragic fall from a hotel balcony on October 16.
