Liam Payne's sister, Ruth Payne, posted remembering Liam and One Direction for the 16th year aniversary via IG Stories.
"I just know Liam would celebrate today as he was so proud of this band and so this is for him, for being part of the best boyband ever."
On this day 16 years ago One Direction started a journey that created a whole lot of history. This is for Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall, Zayn and all of the Directioners. Liam Payne you will be forever loved.
