Photographs, messages and chocolate left as sea of tributes builds at scene of Elle Edwards shooting

A Liverpool FC shirt, photographs and chocolates are among the tributes left to Elle Edwards outside the Lighthouse Inn pub where she was shot.

Friends, family and businesses in the local community have left hundreds of tributes to the 26-year-old who was shot dead at the pub on Christmas Eve. The beautician worked at Nova Hair and Beauty Studio in Moreton.

Police have confirmed Elle was not believed to be the intended target as four other men were also injured in the shooting. One of them, a 28-year-old man from Beechwood, continues to receive medical treatment.

Images from the scene of the shooting this morning show a sea of floral tributes continuing to build, along with photographs of Elle with friends. One of the cards expressing condolences reads: "There are no words to express the sorrow we feel for the senseless loss of your beautiful daughter Elle, sending love. All the members of the Lighthouse Poker Club."

Another reads: "Rest in peace you gorgeous girl, forever young." Alongside roses and lilies, there is also a Liverpool FC shirt and a Dairy Box of chocolates.

Earlier this week Elle's dad, Tim Edwards visited the sealed-off pub, in Wallasey Village, with his son and daughter-in-law to view the sea of floral tributes left by friends, family and people living in the area. He was seen reading a number of cards attached to flowers and laying down a bouquet.

On the bouquet of flowers the card read: "To my beautiful Elle, you are the light of my life. You will never be gone, Mum and Dad xxxx." A heart shaped plaque was also placed, alongside photographs of Elle, which read: "Special daughter, the happiness you brought, in your own special way, will be remembered with love each and everyday."
