00:00I woke up and then she called me to her bedroom and she was in like tears
00:06because she like One Direction was like her favourite band and I loved them too
00:13and like we basically kind of like grew up with One Direction so like it kind of
00:20had a big impact. So obviously Liam's like a big impact in my life it's brought
00:26me and my friend together. I think it's just nice to be around people that
00:32actually understand like how you're feeling. I didn't know him personally but
00:38he's had a massive impact on my life. I just think he's gone way too soon like.
00:43It's just so sad there's literally no words to describe to be fair like he was
00:48our whole childhood. Same for a lot of people that are here today. It's just so
00:53sad. That we've known them from the beginning and it's kind of been that
00:56thing that's brought like loads of our childhood friends together and everything
00:59and kind of brought all of those memories back again. It's just awful, it really is.
01:04Hundreds gathered at Chimberlain Square to pay tribute to Liam Payne, creating an
01:09atmosphere filled with both sorrow and gratitude. The square was adorned with
01:14flowers, handwritten messages and mementos. Many expressed how Payne's
01:18music had been a source of comfort. The memorial showcased the lasting impact of
01:24a local boy from Wolverhampton who became a global star, touching countless
01:29people with his music and spirit. Basically I've been a One Direction fan
01:35since I was like seven and they literally changed my life. I had a very
01:40traumatic childhood and they just really made everything so much better. They're
01:46like my safe place. I've seen them in concert when I was like eight years old
01:50and I have a picture of me with a t-shirt that says Sharna loves One
01:54Direction and it's just so special and I'm just like heartbroken honestly it's
01:59not fair.
