The Museum of Liverpool lit up in a sea of candles as dozens of transgender people and their loved ones gathered to pay tribute to members of their community lost to violence and self harm.
A heartfelt montage of transgender people who died in the past year was played to the crowd at the Transgender Day of Remembrance event on Sunday.
Former Merseyside Police detective sergeant Christian Owens said: "Today is about sharing our visibility, celebrating out lives and remembering the people who have gone before us that have got us to this place today, and also to remember the lives of those we have lost, and the work we still have to do to create an inclusive society for us all.
