Touching moment Liverpool and Everton fans pay tribute to James Bulger during Merseyside derby at Anfield

Liverpool and Everton supporters paid a moving, joint tribute to James Bulger during Monday evening's Merseyside derby at Anfield.

Sunday marked 30 years since the death of James, who was tragically killed a month shy of his third birthday in a murder that shocked the city. The two boys responsible for this callous act, Jon Venables and Robert Thompson, became the youngest convicted murderers in the UK for more than a century.

Eight days after James' murder, on February 20, Liverpool supporters showed their respect prior to a home match against Ipswich Town by holding a minute's silence and holding aloft a banner reading 'RIP JAMES'. The city once again showed tonight James' memory lives on courtesy of a new banner divided in red and blue, accompanied by the following message: '30 years and never forgotten. You'll Never Walk Alone.'
