Amanda Adams watched events around the former One Direction star's funeral in Buckinghamshire unfold yesterday and said she wasn't surprised it was held close to London but that she hoped there would be a lasting memorial in Wolverhampton.
The freelance photographer and entertainment reviewer first met Liam at the Base Studios in Stourbridge when she was invited to a Christmas party for girl group Belle Sorelle who, like him, appeared on The X Factor.
She saw him switch on the Dudley Christmas lights in 2010 and was also there when he appeared at Stourbridge's Party in the Park and Wordsley Festival.
