“The church authorities are braced for an army of fans who are set to descend on Liam’s final resting place,” a showbiz insider recently told RadarOnline. “There is bound to be a lot of interest in the first few weeks and there is a worry that devotees will be tempted to take items left in honour of Liam.”
As merely days have passed since the late 31-year-old Brit star’s funeral, “there is talk of manning the spot with a couple of round-the-clock security guards.” This investment in thorough security checks will reportedly be in place for “at least the first couple of weeks while interest quietens and things get back to ‘normal.’”
The source added, “The last thing his grieving family needs is the prospect of graver robbers rearing their ugly heads.”
