The mum of a teenager who was stabbed in a park recalled the devastating moment her son died in her arms.
On July 3, 2018 Daniel Gee-Jamieson, aged 16, was fatally wounded in Liverpool following years of being bullied.
Mandy Jamieson raced to the scene after a woman knocked on her door to tell her her son had been stabbed near their home just off Belle Vale Road in Gateacre.
The heartbroken mum held her son as the "colour drained from his face and he bled out," after being driven by his friend to the chaotic scene.
Daniel told Mandy as he lay there bleeding to death: "Mum, I just want to go to sleep."
On the fifth anniversary of her son's death, she described the awful event to Liverpool Echo: "A lady knocked on my door and grabbed me saying my son has been stabbed, it was only at the top of the road.
"His friend was in the car crying, saying he was sorry.
"We were only in the car seconds but when I got there it was chaos.
"A woman had her hands inside him trying to stem the bleeding. It was horrific."
Mandy said that her son had been "relentlessly bullied" for years and eventually decided to put a stop to it, which ended in tragedy.
She said: "He asked for a straightener and he won the fight, but he was stabbed and it was a catastrophic bleed."
Mandy described Daniel as a "mummy's boy", something she "loved every minute of.
She added: "He's the only one of my kids that looked like me, the girls look like their dad.
"He was funny, very quick to have a laugh but had a big heart.
"People think kids with ADHD are naughty, they aren't, they have feelings they just struggle with their emotions.
"He was a good kid, he caused murder in my house daily but I wouldn't change him for the world.
Mandy will mark Daniel's death by holding a balloon release at Allerton cemetery as she vows to continue fighting to make a change in his name.
While following his death, Mandy set up Danny’s Place - a social enterprise aimed at keeping his memory alive as well as speaking to young people about the repercussions of knife crime.
After teaming up with the Ava White Foundation, a petition was launched to ensure a mandatory 10-year sentence is handed out to anyone found guilty of illegal possession of a knife.
In November 2021, Ava White was stabbed to death in Liverpool aged 12 after an argument broke out over a Snapchat post.
