Niall Horan to fans on four year anniversary: 'What you have done for us baffles my mind every day'

Niall Horan has praised One Direction fans on the four year anniversary of the band.

The group were pieced together on the 2010 series of the X Factor from five solo contestants and they have since gone on to become one of the world's biggest acts.

Today (July 23) marks four years since the band were conceived and singer Horan took to Twitter to express his thoughts on the milestone.

He said: "Wow! Can't believe it! 4 years ago today we were out together! Crazy how time flies but it also feels like it was years and years ago! I can honestly say, thank you all so much, every one of you, from all over the world! Your support is absolutely incredible.

"What you have done for us baffles my mind every day! Really appreciate everything! Thank you, love you! Let's have more fun now."

Horan also posted an old image of the five stars together (pictured above), adding: "Thank you lads, we've had a great time so far, you are family to me now, not just band mates! Love you."
