One Direction members were pictured in an emotional reunion on the day of Liam Payne’s funeral. Liam’s former bandmates Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, and Zayn Malik were all pictured outside St Mary’s Church in Buckinghamshire as they attended the service.

They watched with other mourners as the singer’s coffin arrived at the church on Wednesday afternoon by horse-drawn hearse as family walked together behind and fans lined the street. One of the floral tributes at the service, from Liam’s son Bear, simply read: “Daddy.” Bear's mother and Liam's ex-partner Cheryl was seen after the service leaving the church.

After the service mourners gathered outside as the former One Direction bandmates stood together and talked and hugged. Simon Cowell was seen consoling Liam’s friends and family before Liam’s parents Karen and Geoff embraced the former X Factor boss. Scroll through the gallery to see pictures from the day.

A sweet gesture on Liam's order of service highlighted his incredibly charitable nature. Guests attending the funeral were thanked by the family for their kind messages and asked to make a donation to Great Ormond Street Hospital in memory of Liam.(Image: Ian Vogler / Daily Mirror)
