Liam Payne was fondly remembered as "kind and generous" at his funeral yesterday.
The 31-year-old tragically lost his life after falling from the balcony of his third-floor hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 16 October.
The star suffered multiple traumas leading to an "internal and external haemorrhage".

His former One Direction bandmates, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik, reunited to pay tribute to their "brother".
Liam's final resting place is in a peaceful town northwest of Central London, a location dear to him.
A private ceremony was held where his family and closest friends celebrated his life. However, sources reveal that while attendees were reminiscing about his kind acts and endearing personality inside the beautiful church in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, they felt an "unfathomable loss".
His devastated parents, Karen and Geoff Payne, were seen leaving the church alongside his former girlfriend and mother of his son, Cheryl Tweedy. A source told The Sun: "The service was beautiful but for everyone inside the church, the loss of Liam is still unfathomable. A choir performed during the service and Liam's personality shone through in all of the details. The readings given during the service were incredibly personal and painted a picture of what Liam was really like."
"He was kind, generous and put everyone else first. The service was centred on this. Liam as a son, a brother and a father. The man that he was behind closed doors. The man who went out of his way to help others, the fact he is no longer with us is still incomprehensible."
Following the funeral, an onlooker told the Mirror: "Liam's former One Direction bandmates stood shoulder to shoulder, their grief clear, as they exchanged quiet words and comforting embraces. Simon Cowell, his face still etched with sorrow, was seen consoling Liam'' friend and family, offering no doubt heartfelt words amid the shared pain."
Liam's family went to great lengths to ensure the service and arrangements were the perfect tribute to the singer. The service cleverly integrated special touches to honour Liam, alongside the more classic flower displays and candles.
One such personal item on display to mourners as they entered the Buckinghamshire church was a floral display showing a series of bowling pins being hit by a ball, arranged out of fresh flowers.
The piece lovingly calls back to Liam's famous love of bowling, which he spent his 31st birthday doing with his family on the 29th August this year. Many cars bringing guests to the church had Batman stickers on the front windshields, showing the logo of a black bat against a white background.
Liam's love of Batman was well-documented, with some fans even saying he was "obsessed" with the mysterious superhero.
