Harry Styles attends Liam Payne's funeral with One Direction bandmates: He and Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson say goodbye to their friend - and are joined by host of stars

Harry Styles has arrived at Liam Payne's funeral alongside his fellow One Direction bandmates and a host of other stars.

Payne died aged 31 on October 16 after falling from the third-floor balcony of a hotel in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires.

Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh, 43, were among the first to arrive as they rallied around their fellow Girls Aloud member Cheryl, the mother of Payne's seven-year-old son, Bear. They were followed shortly later by Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy, 25, who was accompanied by her friend Damian Hurley, 22.

Styles, 30, Niall Horan, 31, Zayn Malik, 31, and Louis Tomlinson, 32, arrived separately at the church in what is thought to be their first time together as a group since their last concert in 2015.

Simon Cowell arrived at the service with his girlfriend Lauren Silverman, alongside the likes of new Radio 2 Breakfast DJ Scott Mills, James Corden and Marvin and Rochelle Humes - walking past floral displays showing bowling pins and a ball - a nod to Payne's love of bowling.

A horse-drawn carriage later arrived at the church carrying a dark blue coffin with silver handles, topped with white roses. On top of the carriage, there was a red floral tribute which said 'son' and a blue tribute which said 'daddy'.

Silence fell upon the crowd as Payne's father Geoff and his mother Karen got out of a vehicle and stood behind the reverend, next to the carriage. The dark blue coffin was then carried into the church through a side door.
Other celebrities attending the service include Capital radio DJs Chris Stark, Jordan North and Sian Welby, who arrived together.

Scott Mills, who spent a lot of time with One Direction in the early days of their career, wore a black long coat over dark trousers for the service.

Former professional footballer Robbie Keane and broadcaster Adrian Chiles were also amongst the mourners gathering to pay their last respects to Payne.

Niall Horan and his girlfriend Amelia Woolley were dropped off by a black Range Rover and went straight into the church, while Harry Styles was accompanied by actor and presenter James Corden.

JLS star Marvin Humes wore a long back coat, black trousers and black gloves while Rochelle also donned a long coat with cape detailing.
