One Direction's Louis Tomlinson ditched his fellow band mates in Barcelona to fly to Manchester just in time to watch his girlfriend Eleanor Calder graduate from university. Louis Tomlinson's girlfriend Eleanor Calder's birthday was on July 16 - can the One Direction singer plan a party like the big bash Zayn Malik organized for his girlfriend Perrie Edwards' 21st?

According to the Manchester Evening News, nobody noticed Louis Tomlinson slip into Eleanor's graduation ceremony last week, "except for a few One Direction fans who spotted him in the front row wearing clothes from a photo shoot that day," J-14.com reports.

"He was a bit late for the start of the ceremony and he did not want to create a big fuss," one of the attendees said, the publication writes. "He crept in and kept a really low profile. There were around 400 people there at the ceremony and hardly anyone clocked that it was him."

As we previously reported, One Direction's Louis Tomlinson and his girlfriend Eleanor Calder were spotted in Paris, confirming rumors that Eleanor has joined the One Direction tour 2014 to keep an eye on her boyfriend and keep him out of trouble following his smoking weed video controversy in Peru.

And according to the mag, Eleanor's 22nd birthday was on Wednesday, and we have no doubt Louis will try his best to throw quite the party for his lovely lady. But can he compete with fellow One Direction singer Zayn Malik and the amazing birthday he threw for fiance Perrie Edwards?

According to Yahoo! UK Celebrity, Zayn planned a big family and friends celebration near her house in Barnet, North London. He literally set up a carnival for her, complete with a ferris wheel.
