It's been 25 years since one of the world’s most famous religious figures, Mother Teresa, made her last trip to Merseyside.
Mother Teresa of Calcutta came to Liverpool several times between 1979 and 1996 to visit the community of the Missionaries of Charity, the Order she founded, at their city centre convent on Seel Street. The sisters provided accommodation for homeless men and women in the city, t he Liverpool ECHO previously reported.
A year before her death, the then 86-year-old made her final visit to Merseyside in 1996, flying into Speke Airport after spending several days in Ireland. At the time, it was reported how the Nobel Prize winner had made a "special request to visit the city."
