The family of Ava White, who was stabbed to death in Liverpool City Centre, has paid tribute to her on what would have been her 14th birthday.

Ava was just 12 when she died after being stabbed on Church Street in November 2021.

She'd been out with friends at a Christmas lights switch-on, when she got into an argument with a group of boys who'd been filming them on snapchat.

A now-15-year-old boy was jailed for life last year for murder - he'll serve at least 13 years behind bars.

Today, writing on the Facebook page of the Ava White Foundation, her family says her birthday is a day that will forever be filled with pain.

Ava's family has released a new tribute today:

"Ava Your 14th Birthday Today It Should Of Been

"A Day That Will Forever Now Be Filled With Pain

"A Mark Of A Year Older You Should Of Been

"The Hurt Trying To Wonder How You’d Of Been A Beautiful Young Girl With A Heart Of Gold

"A Smile That Is Etched In The Minds Of All You Had Known

"12 Years Young Your Life Cut Short How Could They Of Done This To You Will Never Be Known

"A L W A Y S V A L U E A L I F E

"Never Choose A Knife

"In Loving Memory On Your Heavenly Birthday Ava"
