Fans have been paying tribute to the singer Liam Payne in his home city of Wolverhampton a year after his death.

"We love you, Liam", "I hope you are in a better place" and "You will always be remembered" were among the messages left on flowers and cards around the bandstand in West Park in the city.

The One Direction star died aged 31, after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires in Argentina.

The death of Payne, who was born in Bushbury in the city, sparked vigils across the world.

Payne died in Argentina, aged 31, after falling from a hotel balcony

A court in Argentina dropped charges in February of criminal negligence against three out of five people who had been charged in connection with the singer's death.

His death shocked the music world and millions of fans of One Direction, one of the most successful pop groups of the 2010s.
