Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson, members of the boy band One Direction came together in grief on November 20 to attend the funeral of their bandmate, Liam Payne, who tragically passed away last month at the age of 31. The star joined Payne’s grieving family and close friends for the private service held at a church in Amersham, Buckinghamshire.

I have to stop to watch Liam funeral videos. It's too sad. My heart is broken, never been so devastating by the death of a star. Wasn't a directioner, too old for that but I did appreciate their talent. That 14 y old boy who blinked to Cheryl melted my heart. Never forget sweet Liam. ❤

Rest in peace, Liam.
Prayers and my condolences to family, friends, Bandmates and little Bear. I will always remember you for your kindness and music.

It’s gunna hurt for a long while… even Zayn looked like he was struggling. He was shown without his glasses. It was said they all have created a new txting group chat. Hopefully in time they will do something together or see some of them supporting at concerts again. My heart breaks for them💔

[izzyveleaguez]

Left this world at a young age too rip liam

[TheLeastOfficialOfBros]

I noticed that Niall and his girlfriend were holding hands as they walked in. I'm glad Niall's got such good support in his time of need. I hope all the guys have it as well. It hurts to lose anyone, let alone someone you see as practically your brother. Rest in peace Liam <3
