Liam Payne vigil in Birmingham: Fans of Wolverhampton singer prepare to pay tribute in the West Midlands

One Direction fans are hoping that a vigil planned for Birmingham city centre on Sunday will bring a “little peace” following their tragic loss.

It follows a vigil held in Wolverhampton on Friday for the 31 year-old singer who died amid a hotel fall in Buenos Aires on Wednesday.

Wolverhampton's Lady Wulfruna statue was adorned with flowers, candles and balloons as teary-eyed fans came together to remember his life.

Eimear Mitchell, 26, of Birmingham, organiser of the impromptu Wolverhampton vigil, expressed the importance of holding a place of remembrance in the singer's home city.

She said: "Quite a few people have turned up for the vigil so far. It has been really great. I only posted the announcement this morning and so many people have come already.”
