JLS have thanked their fans as the band comes to terms with their split.

The group played their last show together at London's O2 Arena on Sunday (December 22) and it was an emotional affair.

One Direction's Niall Horan attended and said on Twitter that there were "tears all round".

The JLS lads have taken to their own Twitter accounts to thank their fans for their support, with Marvin Humes writing:

"Just want to say thanks to everyone who came to support us yesterday...it was a very emotional but incredible day! #EverybodySayJLS love ya!x."

Aston Merrygold commented: "That hit me like a f*cking hurricane! But Seriously from the bottom of my [heart] thank u! For now I'll say 'see you later' forget goodbye!"

The group released four albums since leaving the X Factor in 2008, with their last coming in the shape of 2012's 'Evolution'.
