Disappointed Derry fans return home after One Direction concert cancelled

Hundreds of Derry fans of One Direction were left disappointed tonight when the heart-throb boyband pulled out of their concert at the SSE Arena (former Odyssey) in Belfast.

The concert, one of three to be staged at East Belfast venue, was cancelled shortly before the boys to take to the stage after band member Liam Payne fell ill.

Around 30,000 fans have splashed out over £1.6m on tickets for the band's three sell-out performances.
