Weeks after Liam Payne passed away at the tender age of 31, he was laid to rest on November 20 in the UK. Among the mourners were his former One Direction bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Neill Horan and Zayn Malik, followed by his family members, friends and his heartbroken girlfriend Kate Cassidy. Payne’s ex-girlfriend, Girls Aloud member Cheryl, who is also the mother of the singer’s seven-year-old son, was present at the private service.

Several pictures from the funeral went viral on social media, showing the simple yet sophisticated arrangements in men in memory of Liam Payne.

His postmortem reports later confirmed that the singer was under the influence of alcohol and drugs before his death.
