Liam Payne: Memorial for late One Direction star to be held in Hyde Park this weekend

A memorial to former One Direction star Liam Payne is being held in London this weekend.

It comes just days after it was announced the singer had died following a fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires.

One Direction fans are expected to flock to Hyde Park on Sunday (October 20th).

Fans are encouraged to bring flowers, letters and drawings to mark their condolences.

The gathering is expected to start at around 2pm in Hyde Park, although a meeting point is yet to be agreed.

It is one of many memorial gatherings taking place in Liam’s honour across Europe on Sunday.

Memorial updates are being shared by a Harry Styles fan account across social media. There is a link to the page here.

The news of Liam’s passing has rocked the UK, with fans and celebrities sharing heartfelt tributes to the singer.

His former bandmates, Harry, Louis, Niall and Zayn, released a joint statement saying they are “completely devastated” by Liam’s death.

Adding in time they will have more to say, but for now they are mourning the loss of their “brother”.

Liam, 31, leaves behind his son Bear, who he shares with Girls Aloud singer Cheryl.
