Rather unexpectedly Liam's girlfriend Kate Cassidy arrived at the church with Damian Hurley instead of with her late boyfriend's family, ex Cheryl and seven-year-old son Bear.

Girls Aloud stars Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts were also seen at the Church in support their bandmate and friend Cheryl.

Other well-known faces spotted paying their respects to Liam included James Corden, Rochelle and Marvin Humes, Simon Cowell and Robbie Keane.

Liam's family, led by his father Geoff, were last to arrive at the church. A white horse-drawn carriage carrying then arrived with a black coffin with a floral display which read 'son' resting on top.

Initially, it was believed Liam's funeral would take place in one of the churches near his childhood home in Wolverhampton; However, he'll be buried in one of the Home Counties as he has connections to the area.

Liam is believed to have invested in property in the area, helping buy Cheryl and Bear a €4.6m mansion in Buckinghamshire and later buying himself a property nearby. He's also said to have had a €6million 'bachelor pad' in Woking, Surrey.
