“When One Direction came to Argentina in 2014 it was so exciting. We went to the concert and we were in VIP and we were so close to them,” Selena said.
“It feels like so recent, and now that Liam’s gone I feel pain in every part of my body and my heart.
“He was a beautiful person. When his dad came to see the notes around the tree we shielded him from the cameras because the love we have is so big for Liam and his family as well.”
Rocio Hipperdingar also came from La Plata.

“At first I didn’t believe it had happened. I’ve been a fan of One Direction since I was 13 and now I’m 24,” she said.
“I spent many years of my life thinking of them, listening to their music and they were my support in very bad times. I couldn’t believe when I heard he had died, I thought it was fake news. I wanted to come to the hotel because it’s about remembering all the good times I felt with their music.”
She feels as though she has “lost a friend”, she added.
Fan Aelen Urguesta, 24, from Buenos Aires, was also there. “I’m 24 and have loved Liam since I was 14,” she said.

“I saw him at Niall Horan’s concert in Buenos Aires the week before he died and that was wonderful to see them together.
“The most heartbreaking thing is that he passed away here and not with his family. Liam was a very important part of One Direction so it’s incredibly sad. I can’t say exactly how I feel because I am so emotional.”
His girlfriend Kate Cassidy said she is “at a loss” without her “angel”, while the mother of his child Cheryl has criticised “abhorrent” reporting around his death.
