Yesterday is One Direction's 10th anniversary, and patient fans have been promised something special to mark the occasion.

Earlier this month, the much-loved boy band revealed that a new website would launch on July 23, with a celebration video made for their fans.
New content, including interactive playlists, are expected, as well as reformatted EPs featuring B-sides and rare songs, remixes, live recordings, and acoustic versions of tracks.
We take a look back at some of the band's most iconic moments.

A band is born
The group got its start in 2010 on "The X Factor" after Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson all auditioned.
Individually, they didn't cut, but they were formed into a boy band, which is now one of the most successful in history.

Although the band didn't go on to win the talent contest, their performances -- including a rendition of Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn" -- impressed judges. Simon Cowell signed the band to his label, and the rest, as they say, is history.
International hits
One Direction, otherwise known as 1D, went on to huge success in the UK, with four UK number one singles, 14 UK top 10s, and a spot on Billboard Hot 100 chart.
