Story behind the peace murals seen throughout Liverpool and Merseyside

If you've ever walked past certain telephone boxes in Liverpool you've probably wondered where the messages of peace plastered to them came from.

There are many in the city centre, with perhaps the most well-known being the one outside Primark, but the street art is all throughout the city and Merseyside. One telephone box on Lime Street carries the "peace movement" message, featuring a child holding a gun with "unless we teach our children peace someone else will teach them violence" below in all caps.

Another, outside Lush on Church Street, features a panda dual-wielding two guns, with "Be like a panda, he's Black, he's white, he's Asian. Destroy racism. Scouse has no colour," as a caption.
