Hello and welcome to the second Our Liverpool of the day.
The death of Paul O'Grady, announced this morning by husband Andre Portasio, shocked the region and since thousands of tributes, from fans, friends and family alike, have poured in.
He's been called "the champion of the underdog" (namely by his friends at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home) and he really was, not just for those animals needing homes, but for the working class, for the homeless, for the LGBTQ+ during the height of AIDS, and he never forgot where he came from.
