Singers Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson have arrived at the funeral of their One Direction bandmate Liam Payne.

The One Direction star died after falling from the third floor balcony of his hotel room in Argentina in October and his body was allowed to be flown home by his family after being given the ok by officials in Buenos Aires earlier this month.

Styles arrived in a BMW with TV star James Corden and was dressed in black and went straight inside the church. But they weren't the only famous faces there to pay their respects. 

Girls Aloud singers Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh were dropped off in front of the church’s entrance wearing long black coats and sunglasses.

Other guests to arrive so far include Payne’s girlfriend, US influencer Kate Cassidy, who arrived alongside Damian Hurley, the son of model Elizabeth Hurley.
