A mural honouring the late Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has been completed, with fans adding their own written messages to the finished piece.
The "Forever 20" artwork, by artists MurWalls, has gone on display on a property on Sybil Road in Anfield.
Supporters have been queuing around the block to add their tributes to the wall.
MurWalls artist Mark Silver said the final touch to the mural, which shows Jota making a heart symbol with his hands, was the addition of a gold Premier League champions badge.

"It was a real shame that he didn't get to wear the gold Premiership badge because that's what he would've been wearing this season being a Premier League champion," he said.
"So we thought it would be really nice touch to add that."
The 28-year-old Portugal international died in a car crash in Spain along with his brother Andre Silva, 25, in July.
Fans started to add signatures and messages to the mural near to the ground using bright marker pens against the dark paint.
It is one of a number of artwork tributes to Jota created around Anfield.
