Members of One Direction were among the mourners gathered for the funeral of bandmate Liam Payne in England on Wednesday.
Singers Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson joined other guests at the private service in Buckinghamshire to remember Payne following his death aged 31 last month.
Prior to the funeral starting, dozens of locals and fans gathered to pay their final respects to Payne, who died on October 16th after falling from the third-floor balcony of a hotel in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires.
