Among the first mourners to arrive was Nicola Roberts of Girls Aloud, who was warmly greeted by Simon Jones, One Direction’s former PR manager and Cheryl’s current representative.
Kimberley Walsh, 43, and Damian Hurley, 22, were also spotted making their way through the churchyard toward the main entrance.
Harry Styles, 30, Niall Horan, 31, Zayn Malik, 31, and Louis Tomlinson, 32, are expected to reunite for the first time publicly since their final concert as a group in 2015.
The service, set to begin at 1 PM, will feature performances by a choir and musicians. Among the floral tributes is an arrangement depicting bowling pins and a ball, honoring Payne’s love for bowling, a pastime he reportedly enjoyed up to four times a week.
