Full list of celebrity guests at Liam Payne's funeral - from One Direction bandmates to Girls Aloud and Cheryl

As a devoted fan of Liam Payne since his days with One Direction, I can’t help but feel deeply saddened by the news of his untimely demise. I remember the joy he brought to millions of fans worldwide, and how he touched our hearts with his infectious smile and soulful voice.


On Wednesday, Liam Payne was given a solemn burial, a month after his heartbreaking passing. Many of his dearest celebrity companions attended the ceremony.

A crowd of family and companions assembled for a memorial service, honoring the deceased 31-year-old singer, who tragically passed away on October 16 following a fall from a balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

As a die-hard fan, I can hardly contain my excitement as Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horrans – my beloved One Direction boys – gather to show their support for Cheryl, the remarkable woman who shares a piece of my idol, Liam. The thought of them rallying around her fills me with an indescribable sense of joy and admiration.

Outside the church where Liam’s funeral service was taking place, the former bandmates, having parted ways back in 2016, appeared somber.

Simon Cowell, the band’s previous manager, also became a part of them. He masterminded their rise to incredible fame by assembling the band back in 2021.

Nicola Roberts, a member of Girl’s Aloud pop group, was among the first mourners to arrive. 

Simon Jones, once the PR for One Direction, is currently representing Cheryl, the mother of Bear Payne’s child. She was affectionately kissed upon meeting.

The whereabouts of the funeral were kept under wraps until signs indicating no parking appeared around the church, at which point nearby locals became aware that a service was happening there.

As a dedicated admirer of the rules of the road, I’ve become something of a vigilant enforcer in my neighborhood. I can often be found cruising around, issuing tickets to drivers who disregard traffic signs and signals. It’s all in the name of safety, after all!

In September, Payne journeyed to Argentina. There, he caught Niall Horan, a former bandmate, performing live and reconnected with his dear friend Rogelio ‘Roger’ Nores. Due to visa-related matters, he decided to lengthen his trip in the U.S. Unfortunately, this extended stay coincided with the unfortunate incident that followed.

The church where the service takes place boasts an entrance adorned with candles in lanterns and clusters of white roses nestled within nearby foliage.

According to one source, his family has made significant efforts to arrange a fitting service as a suitable farewell for him (The Sun reported).

Though Liam might be known as a world-renowned figure, for Geoff and Karen, he’ll forever remain their cherished little boy. They are bracing themselves for a truly challenging day ahead.

Upon hearing the heart-wrenching news of Payne’s passing, I, along with Tomlinson, Malik, Horan, and Styles, are left absolutely shattered. We stand in deep mourning, our spirits heavy with sorrow.

‘In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say,’ they said.

For the moment, let’s give ourselves space to mourn and reflect upon the deep affection we held for our beloved brother, who has passed away.

‘His memories that we all cherished together will endure eternally. At this moment, our sympathies go out to his family, his friends, and the fans who adored him, sharing in our grief.’

‘We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam – Louis, Zayn, Niall and Harry.’

Tomlinson, Styles and Malik all later released separate tributes.

Styles wrote on Instagram that he was ‘truly devastated’ and will ‘miss him always’.

His utmost delight lay in bringing joy to others, and it was a privilege to stand beside him during those moments.
