Funeral of Alfie Evans to be held on Monday
It will be private service at an unknown location
A private funeral will be held for Alfie Evans in Liverpool next week with well wishers being asked to line the streets to pay their respects.
The service will not be open to the public, but Merseyside Police say they will be in attendance to provide support to the family.
People wishing to show their support have been invited to line the pavement on Walton Lane outside Goodison Park from the junction of Spellow lane towards Queens Drive as the funeral procession passes between 11 and 11.30 am.
Chief Inspector Chris Gibson said: “We respect that this is a very difficult time for Alfie’s family, friends and the wider members of the public and appreciate that a number of people will want to pay their respects and offer their condolences."
"“Alfie’s mum and dad, Tom and Kate, continue to thank the community for their support but have asked us to ask well-wishers to respect their privacy during the event."
"Those who have not been invited to the funeral are asked to avoid the area to allow Alfie’s family to grieve privately."
