Today is a blessed day for longtime One Direction fans. It marks the 10-year anniversary of the British mega boy band, who got their start on the X Factor stage in 2010. Though the five original members—Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik—have gone their separate ways since their hiatus announcement in 2015, with solo careers and children now in the mix, they're honoring their roots today with heartfelt messages for their fans and for each other.
LOUIS TOMLINSON
"Too many incredible memories to mention but not a day goes by that I don't think about how amazing it was," he wrote on Twitter. "@NiallOfficial @Harry_Styles @LiamPayne @zaynmalik. So proud of you all individually."
LIAM PAYNE
"What a journey… I had no idea what we were in for when I sent this text to my Dad ten years ago at this exact time the band was formed. Thanks to everyone that's supported us over the years and thanks to the boys for sharing this with me #10YearsOfOneDirection," he tweeted.
HARRY STYLES
"I've been struggling to put into words how grateful I am for everything that’s happened over the last ten years," Styles began his heartfelt Twitter thread. "I've seen things and places that I'd only ever dreamt of when I was growing up."
He honored the band's crew, team, and fans, but, most importantly, he ended on a loving message to his bandmates. "And finally.. to the boys, I love you so much, and I couldn't be prouder of everything we achieved together. Here's to ten. H"
