One Direction star died on Wednesday after falling from a third-floor hotel room in Buenos Aires

Outside St Peter’s church in Wolverhampton, people gathered on Sunday to look at the balloons, bouquets and candles left in tribute to the One Direction star Liam Payne, whose home town was part of a worldwide outpouring of grief arranged by fans over the weekend.

Fans came together in Munich, Paris, Glasgow, Madrid, Sydney and New York – as well as in the Philippines and Colombia – to pay their respects after directioners, the name given to supporters of the X Factor-formed band, organised the vigils on social media.
