    Harry Styles made himself laugh at his grandmother's funeral

    The 32-year-old pop star - who lost his grandma Beryl Styles in 2014 aged 86 - has admitted he got the giggles during the private funeral service when a certain Beatles song was played at the crematorium.


    Appearing on the Royal Court podcast, he said: "I remember being at my grandma's funeral, and as the belt started, it just went 'the long and winding road', and it made me laugh.

    "It feels so inappropriate. And then I just started thinking about inappropriate cremation songs... And then I was off."

    The former One Direction singer - who insisted he "really likes cremation songs" - revealed that Dan Hartman's Relight My Fire made the cut alongside Disco Inferno by The Trammps and Johnny Cash classic Ring of Fire.

    Back in 2016, Harry's sister Gemma revealed how a 1D fan overstepped at Beryl's funeral by asking for a picture at the memorial.

    Writing for The Debrief about inappropriate times to take a selfie, his sibling said: "My most frustrating personal experience of this was the 'friend'/distant relative at my grandma's funeral who was trying to bring in her granddaughter or niece or someone to have a picture with my brother.

    "At a funeral. Our grandmother's funeral. 'Smh' doesn't really cover it."

    Harry recently described Gemma as one of his "best friends" because no one knows him as well as she does, and he thinks they have a "beautiful" bond.

    Asked who is least impressed by his fame, he told BBC Radio 2's Scott Mills: "My sister... in like the most beautiful way, in the way that makes me feel so wonderful and loved by her. "It's not what we talk about. It's just in a way that it makes me so full. She is not that bothered [about the fame].

    "I also think as you get a little bit older as well and you have siblings that then you choose to be friends with, ends up being like a really beautiful friendship in your life. She's one of my best friends and she knows me better than anyone."
