Liam Payne’s burial: What does the bowling pin flower signify?

Liam Payne’s burial service, held on Wednesday was to his distinguished works as a member of One Direction. A blue casket with silver handles arrived at the Church in a horse-drawn carriage. Red flower tributes that read Son and a blue floral tribute that said “Dad” from Payne’s 7-year-old son Bear were used to adorn the coffin.

According to his ex-girlfriend Kate Cassidy, the late musician loved bowling and went to play four times a week.

Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh were the first to show up at the funeral procession, supporting their fellow Girls Aloud member Cheryl, Payne’s ex-partner and mother to his son Bear.

Cassidy, the late singer’s ex-girlfriend, and her friend Damian Hurley followed them shortly after. His former bandmates from One Direction, Harry Styles, Louis Hamilton, Nial Horan, and Zayn Malik, all showed up to pay their respects at the funeral.

Attending the burial with his fiancée, Simon Rusell, who was instrumental in starting the band on X Factor in 2010, looked tearful as he gave Payne’s parents a hug. Among many others, James Cordon, a former talk show host and longtime friend of the late singer, attended the funeral.
