Liam Payne's funeral will take place today as friends and family gather to pay tribute to the former One Direction star.
Payne died at the age of 31 just over a month ago.
The musician died after falling from a third-floor balcony of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
His former bandmates are among those expected to attend the private service in the Home Counties, alongside his family and closest friends.
Liam Payne's final social media post:
Just hours before his death at a hotel in Buenos Aires, former One Direction band member Liam Payne was posting on social media.
Local police said the 31-year-old fell from the third floor into the courtyard of the Casa Sur Hotel in the Palermo neighbourhood of Argentina’s capital before medics confirmed his death, in a statement to the Associated Press (AP).
On Snapchat, the X Factor star had uploaded videos earlier on and spoke to his followers about his plans while on holiday, saying it was a "lovely day in Argentina" and that he also planned to play polo.
However, it appears the videos were posted days after they were filmed, as they include Liam’s girlfriend of two years, Kate Cassidy, who uploaded videos of her return to Florida on social media earlier in the week.
"Think I'm going to play polo again, which is going to put me out of action for about six weeks.
"It's so hard to do, number one, my back and my neck from swinging that hammer around... or mallet, I think it's called if you're in the know.
"It hurts a lot, it's very tough to do."
Elsewhere, Liam also gave his fans a tour of the room he was staying in with Kate.
He then joked: "Haha, loser, weirdo," as she was leaving Argentina.
"Obviously, we're going to go home and see our dog," he added.
The couple recently fostered a dog called Nala, according to Liam’s videos.

After telling his Snapchat followers he had been having lie-ins every morning with Kate, Liam shared they were enjoying coffee and breakfast, "even though it's like 1pm".
"We literally sleep in every day until like 12," Kate can be heard saying in the background.
"We're such losers," she said.
Liam finished his update on Snapchat by sharing some of the "amazing" art in their hotel room.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
