Liam Payne’s Funeral Plans Unfold as His Body is Flown Back to the UK After Three Weeks….see more

Liam Payne’s life will be honoured in a remembrance service at the end of this week, three weeks after the singer fell to his death in Argentina.

On October 16, the former One Direction singer died aged 31 after plunging to his death from the third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires.

The star had been in the country for a holiday and even attended his old pal Niall Horan’s concert with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy.

His heartbroken friends, family and fans paid tribute to the star with their own tear-jerking statements shared on social media.

On Wednesday, after local authorities completed further toxicology and laboratory tests, his body was returned to his family, as confirmed by public prosecutor Andrés Madrea.

Liam’s father Geoff Payne has been in the country where his son died over recent weeks.

Sources close to the family have claimed that a “lavish service of remembrance” is being planned, with the event expected to take place at a grand cathedral.

It is believe it will be held in his hometown of Wolverhampton.

The service will give family, friends, and millions of fans a moment to say goodbye to the beloved star.

It is unclear whether the One Direction stars will be attending.

The source told MailOnline: “Liam will have a very big send-off, quite probably at a large cathedral somewhere close to his heart.

“Liam was so loved by so many people, there will obviously be enormous demand and so the service will necessarily be a huge affair.”

After details of his funeral emerged, fans all over social media urged others not to attend the funeral and respect his family’s privacy.

One user said on TikTok: “This is your friendly reminder that if you’re thinking of going to Liam Payne’s funeral to look at One Direction members.

Don’t,” while one said on X: “A reminder to everyone thinking of going to Liam’s funeral.

A few articles have stated how the funeral will be private and low-key so please, let his loved ones mourn in peace and privacy.

Memorials were for the fans, his funeral is for the people who knew him personally.”

Respected Argentinian daily La Nacion reported that Liam’s father was personally informed in a recent meeting with prosecution chief Andres Madrea that he could return to the UK with Liam’s body two weeks after arriving in the South American country following his son’s tragic three-storey hotel fall.

It stated: “All the documents are ready for the former One Direction singer to return to his homeland so a funeral can take place there next week.

When Geoff Payne reached Argentina on October 18 he was told the repatriation process could take between four and five days, but because of the circumstances surrounding his son’s death things took longer than expected.”

The Public Prosecutor’s Office in Buenos Aires is still investigating the circumstances around the singer’s tragic passing.
