Announcing the passing of a loved one in the local press is a long-standing tradition and we are proud of the trust placed in us to make these important announcements.

Every day the ECHO print edition carries tributes and funeral notices for those who have lost a loved one recently and our condolences go out to all.

It gives people a chance to celebrate the lives of loved ones and pay respects to the health and care teams who looked after them. The announcements also often share information regarding funerals, fundraising and flowers.

You can see the full list of family announcements by visiting the Liverpool ECHO section of our partner website funeral-notices.co.uk. Here is a selection of some of the notices published in the paper over the last week.

Bob Connor
So Very Suddenly on 25/3/24 Oh son this is the hardest thing I have ever written. I say 'son' even though you were my youngest and one an only brother. Cos it was always, hiya son, see you son, ta-ra son.

2 greatest things happened in 1965. Liverpool won the cup at Wembley, and Bob Connor was born. Me mam and dad's long awaited son was born, and me dad would have deffo took you with him to Wembley had you not been so young! We didn't have to listen to me dad playing his record anymore, "7 little girls sitting in the back seat". Me mam and dad idolised you son and so did all your sisters, you were ruined beyond words. Growing up you got away with "murder" we always got the blame cos it wasn't our Bob. As young as you were you could make us all laugh till we cried.

One rare time me mam let me wheel you up and down, I was told not to get you out of the tansad and I did, and you fell and cut your lip. I knew I would be in for a hiding and when I took you in me mam was roaring "what have you done to him, look at his mouth, he looks like he's done ten round with Cassius Clay, just you wait till your dad gets in from work" there are that many memories locked in my heart son, I will treasure them till the end of time. You were the funniest brother ever! Well son me dad never got to take you to see his beloved Liverpool play, he was taken when you were a kid. You take after him for that cos you could tell me dad nothing about Liverpool FC. And you followed in his footsteps go and cheer them on together now son. Mam and Dad hold him so tight along with our Joan and Pat. Forever always be Bob and the 8 girls YNWA "Bob the Con" Heart broken sister Sheila, Nieces, Nephew, great nieces and great nephew and partners xxx
