More than 100 people gathered to pay tribute to Ava White on what would have been her 13th birthday.
The gathering was held tonight (Sunday) outside Anfield stadium and was attended by members of Ava’s family.
The crowd, mainly made up of schoolchildren, brought along balloons of the figure 13 or the letter A, which were released at around 6.30pm.

They also let off flares and a small number of fireworks, and sang songs to remember Ava.
The schoolgirl was aged 12 when she was attacked after attending the Christmas light switch-on with friends on November 25.
She was taken to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital where she died a short time later.
Hundreds gathered for a “beautiful and emotional” service at the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral last month as mourners from across the city came together to pay their respects to the much-loved youngster.
But family and friends wanted to do something special to mark what would have been Ava’s 13th birthday.
A charity event in memory of the Liverpool youngster will also be held on February 25.
Held at the Sandon Complex in Anfield, the ticketed event has already seen dozens of local businesses across Liverpool rally to show their support by donating items to raffle off.
All money raised will go towards helping Ava’s loved ones in their grief.
More information about the event is available via Instagram here or via Facebook here.
Artist John Culshaw has also told of plans to create a mural around Anfield in memory of Ava and to promote the No More Knives campaign.
A 14-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons because of his age, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on December 1 charged with murder and possessing an offensive weapon.
