Hello, hello, welcome to the Nordy but Nice.

Hello, welcome to the Nourty but Nice. I'm your host, Rob Schueter, and it is Thursday.

I am in Great Britain. I'm in England at my mum and dad's house.

So if the sound is a little off today, do forgive me. How nice was it of Donnie to jump in yesterday

and to drive the show. I'm so grateful for him. He's such a great friend and such a great talent.

Donnie, if you're listening, hello, hello, hello. Thank you again.

Let's jump into the show. What time is it, my friends? It is tea time. Big story at the top of the show,

particularly because I'm here in Britain. Yesterday was the funeral, heartbreaking funeral,

the One Directions, Liam Payne.

This also was a reunion of some sorts for his bandmates who did all come together.

The remaining members of One Direction, Harry, Lewis, Zane and Nile came together for the first time in nearly nine years,

nine years, in a bid to say an emotional farewell to their friends, their band member,

Liam Payne, who tragically passed away last month following a fatal fall.

The private ceremony funeral took place in Wolverhampton, which is very close to where I grew up in

Birmingham, an industrial in city town, a little down on its lurk, but a proud, proud

town. This entire community was so proud that Liam was one of theirs. To have somebody go

from a place like that and become a global superstar gave his family, his friends, the community, the whole of Britain

great pride. So first I spotted Harry Stiles who arrived early. His head was bowed in sorrow

and he wore sunglasses. Then everybody else arrived shortly afterwards, all in black, and avoiding eye contact with the cameras

as they entered the church. This is difficult because it is a press event, but it's also a funeral.

And so I think people were respectful. The press were very respectful, but they did cover the story.

It's a major, major story around the world, especially here in the UK.
