Liam Payne’s funeral has been ‘hardest day of Cheryl’s life’ as she said…

Cheryl bid a final farewell to her ex-partner Liam Payne at his funeral service in the Home Counties on Wednesday, marking it the “hardest day” of the mum of one’s life

Cheryl, 41, faced the most challenging day as she said her final goodbyes to her former partner Liam at his funeral service in the Home Counties on Wednesday (November 20). The tragic news of Liam’s death came after he fell from his hotel balcony in Buenos Aires on October 16.

Cheryl, who is the mother to their seven year old son Bear, was among many stars present at the private ceremony, including Liam’s One Direction bandmates Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, and Louis Tomlinson. She found solace with her Girls Aloud pals Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh by her side. The “beautiful” service featured “personal” readings from those close to Liam and a choir performance, leaving attendees deeply moved.

“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.”

A pal close to Liam shared: “Generosity was Liam to a tee. His family knew that Liam cared greatly for others. As painful as his death was, they know Liam would have taken a huge amount of pride in knowing that he was still able to help others.”
