Hundreds of people have turned out to pay their respects to 12-year-old Ava White at a vigil held in her memory.
Ava was fatally stabbed in the city centre on November 25 after a Christmas lights switch-on.
On Saturday, family, friends and others gathered in Church Street, close to where the incident happened, to pay tribute to her.
Hundreds of balloons, some in the shape of the letter A, were released at the start of the vigil.
Many people wore hoodies with Ava’s face on and others had her name written on their faces.

The Radio City tower was lit up blue in memory of the Year 8 Notre Dame Catholic College pupil.
Imagine by John Lennon was performed by Astrid Smith as hundreds held up glowsticks and phones to light up the city centre in Ava’s memory.
You’ll Never Walk Alone was played as was music including Hero by Mariah Carey and Where Is The Love by the Black Eyed Peas.
A number of the crowd were in tears during the vigil.
On Friday, a statement on the Facebook page of vigil organisers A&E Entertainment said: “Tomorrow we will all come together as one, standing up against knife crime and standing strong for the family of a beautiful life lost.
“We stand together as we light Liverpool up for a beautiful little soul Ava White.”
On Friday, Ava’s father, Robert Martin, paid tribute, saying her family has been left “completely devastated and heartbroken”.
Ava was taken to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital after the attack at about 8.30pm but later died from “catastrophic injuries”, police said.
A 14-year-old boy appeared in court earlier this week charged with her murder.
