Meanwhile, Payne’s parents and two sisters were joined by his girlfriend Kate Cassidy. His former partner Cheryl Tweedy (also known as Cheryl Cole) was in attendance as well. The two have a seven-year-old son together, named Bear.
Other attendees include actor and former Late Late Show host James Corden and Simon Cowell, who helped create then managed Payne’s boy band through The X Factor.
Loving Tributes For Liam
Payne’s casket was adorned with white roses and was brought to the church in a horse-drawn carriage. The carriage was adorned with the words “Son” and “Daddy” in blue and red flowers.
A floral tribute shaped like bowling pins was also seen at the venue. Payne was a massive fan of the sport, having spent his last birthday with his family playing it.
In a TikTok video, his girlfriend Cassidy wrote, “Liam’s obsessed with bowling,” and that “he drags me to bowling at least four times a week.”
Some of the cars attendees used at the funeral had Batman stickers on them, showing the singer’s love for the comic book character. Payne often dressed up as the Caped Crusader during Halloween and even while performing on stage.

So far, three people have been arrested in relation to Payne’s death, charged with “crimes of abandonment of a person followed by death” and “supply and facilitation of narcotics.”
