Liam Payne vigil takes place in Liverpool

One Direction fans gathered in Liverpool yesterday for a vigil in memory of Liam Payne.

Fans of Liam Payne wrote messages in tribute to the singer, who died on Wednesday.

Vigils for One Direction singer Liam Payne have continued over the weekend after his death in fall from a hotel room balcony in Argentina.

There was a gathering of Directioners, the name given to followers of The X Factor-formed boy band, at the Keel Wharf Bridge at Royal Albert Dock in Liverpool on Saturday.

The fans wrote messages in tribute to the singer, 31, who died on Wednesday.

One memorial card said Forever Young, a nod to the Alphaville track of the same name that One Direction covered, but did not formally release as a single.

Fans lit candles and had carboard signs with the band’s lyrics on them, including one saying “I’m missing half of me when we’re apart”, from the single If I Could Fly by One Direction.

Photographs of Liam Payne, flowers, teddy bears and balloons were left at the bridge, and the group sang One Direction songs.

Argentina’s National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office No 16 said it was investigating the incident at the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires as an “inconclusive death”.

Liam’s father, Geoff Payne, travelled to the Argentinian capital on Friday to arrange the repatriation of his son’s body.

Kate Cassidy, Liam’s former girlfriend said “nothing about the past few days have felt real” after his death at the age of 31.

The social media influencer, who had been in a relationship with Payne for around two years, said she was at a “complete loss” after police in Argentina said the singer died falling from the third-floor balcony of a hotel in Buenos Aires.

“Thank you for all of the kind words and love that has been sent my way,” Cassidy said in a statement posted on her Instagram story.

“I have been at a complete loss. Nothing about the past few days have felt real.

“I ask and pray that you’ll give me the grace and space to navigate this in private.

“Liam, my angel, you are everything. I want you to know I loved you unconditionally and completely.”
