A charity in Wolverhampton has shared a tribute to Liam Payne, following his death at the age of 31.

The former One Direction singer fell from a hotel balcony in Argentina in 2010.

He grew up in Bushbury, Wolverhampton, and tributes have been paid across his home-city.

Liam became an ambassador for local charity The Way Youth Zone in its early years, with his parents attending the official opening in 2012.

In a statement today (18th October), the charity has said: "We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Liam Payne.

"As an ambassador for our Youth Zone during its early years, Liam raised awareness of our charity and supported our mission to empower young people in Wolverhampton.

"We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family during this difficult time."
