Vigils for One Direction singer Liam Payne have continued over the weekend after his death in fall from a hotel room balcony in Argentina.

There was a gathering of Directioners, the name given to followers of The X Factor-formed boy band, at the Keel Wharf Bridge at Royal Albert Dock in Liverpool on Saturday.

The fans wrote messages in tribute to the singer, 31, who died on Wednesday.

One memorial card said Forever Young, a nod to the Alphaville track of the same name that One Direction covered, but did not formally release as a single.

Fans lit candles and had carboard signs with the band’s lyrics on them, including one saying “I’m missing half of me when we’re apart”, from the single If I Could Fly by One Direction.

Photographs of Payne, flowers, teddy bears and balloons were left at the bridge, and the group sang One Direction songs.

Argentina’s National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office No 16 said it was investigating the incident at the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires as an “inconclusive death”.

Payne’s father, Geoff Payne, travelled to the Argentinian capital on Friday to arrange the repatriation of his son’s body.
