Liam Payne's funeral to take place today

More than a month after the tragic death of singer Liam Payne, his funeral will take place in the UK today.
The former One Direction star died aged 31 after falling from his hotel room balcony in Argentina on October 16.

The funeral will be a private ceremony in Home County, attended only by family and close friends - including his four former partners: Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson.

"His family has gone to great lengths to arrange the perfect ceremony and give him the send-off he deserves," the Sun reported.

Payne's body was released to his family two weeks ago after toxicology tests were completed, the full results of which have yet to be released. A preliminary report last month suggested that a substance known as "pink cocaine" may have been in his system at the time of his fall.

Argentine police are continuing to investigate the incident and have so far arrested three people. | BGNES
