"It’s like feeling that a part of Liam was here. He’s gone, and being able to give his father this place so that he can feel that not only he, but many people, had a lot of affection and love for him, it’s like a feeling of gratitude that no one can take away. Because his father wasn’t here, and for him to see this, to feel that Liam wasn’t alone here, at least for me today, it brings me comfort and peace knowing that his father knows that someone loved him apart from his family."

STORYLINE:
The father of former One Direction star Liam Payne met with fans and read messages of condolences left by the crowd after his son’s death earlier this week.
Geoff Payne arrived in Buenos Aires on Friday to arrange for the return of his son’s body to England two days after the famous boy band singer fell to his death from a hotel balcony.
After landing at the Buenos Aires International Airport in the early morning hours, Geoff Payne was photographed emerging in a blue suit from a downtown hotel accompanied by British consular officials and stepping into a sleek black van.
Argentine authorities said Payne was headed to the local prosecutor’s office, which is investigating the case as a matter of protocol, to organize the repatriation of his son’s remains.
Local media reported that he later visited the morgue.
It’s the first time that any of Payne’s family members have been seen publicly since the star’s sudden death, which set off an outpouring of grief and emotion from major pop industry figures and diehard One Direction fans across the world.
The shock hit particularly hard at home, with his family saying in a statement that they are “heartbroken.”
In various media interviews over the years, Payne had often expressed gratitude and affection for his auto mechanic father and nurse mother, describing them as hard-working and supportive.
Both parents made cameos in “One Direction: This Is Us,” the 2013 concert documentary about the popular boy band.
