Fans have gathered in London, Glasgow, and other cities around the world, including Argentina where Liam Payne died on Wednesday.
Tearful Liam Payne fans comforted one another as they came together to remember him at a vigil in London’s Hyde Park.
Hundreds of people gathered at the park’s Peter Pan statue on Sunday. Many were seen crying and hugging one another, while others wrote messages and laid flowers.
Vigils were also held in Glasgow and Paris, following others in Liverpool, New York, Paris, and Madrid this weekend.
Payne, 31, died as a result of multiple injuries after falling from his third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Wednesday.
Lauren, 26, from Kent, said it was “comforting being with other people… because these people get it, whereas back at home, you’re just kind of on your own, and it’s quite tough, you’re stuck in your own thoughts, and here you can talk about it”.
She added Payne’s death hit harder than the loss of popstar Tom Parker from The Wanted because she was “prepared for it” after his brain tumour diagnosis.
Tess Hayden, 24, is from the US and was on holiday in Dublin when Payne died. She decided to cut her trip short and travel to London in the hope of attending a vigil.
She said: “Well, my older brother and I had been planning a trip to Dublin for a while, and I knew I was gonna try and come to London at some point at the end of the trip, but when I woke up and heard the news, I was like, ‘okay, I’ll just go a day earlier (and) try and figure (it) out’.”
Ms Hayden added that it was “very surreal… sad, devastating, and shocking”.
“It’s a reminder of what a huge part of my childhood and growing up, Liam and One Direction were,” she added.
