Tributes have been paid to a tireless campaigner who was described as the "heart and soul of Walton Hall Park."
Chrissie Byrne, the chair and organiser of the Friends of Walton Hall Park was well known around the city for her passionate defence of Liverpool's parks and green spaces. She has died at the age of 51.
Chrissie was instrumental in the campaign to block plans by Everton and Liverpool Council to build a new stadium and houses on Walton Hall Park. As well as her passion for that particular park, Chrissie also worked with the Fields in Trust group to legally protect all the city's green spaces.
