Singer Liam Payne’s funeral has taken place with a string of celebrities among the attendees.
His ex-One Direction bandmates Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson were among those paying their respects at the church in Buckinghamshire.
Girls Aloud singer Cheryl, who was in a relationship with Payne between 2016 and 2018, was also at the service.
Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy joined the mourners, who included fellow Girls Aloud stars Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh.
Dozens of locals and fans have also gathered outside the church to pay their final respects to the singer, who died aged 31 on October 16 after falling from the third-floor balcony of a hotel in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires.
Payne rose to fame alongside Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan when Simon Cowell put them together to form One Direction on ITV talent show The X Factor in 2010.
An investigation has been launched into his death by prosecutors, and three people have been charged in connection with the incident.
