We encourage everyone across the borough to join in with our online broadcast and take part in the minute's silence. While we understand there is a desire to pay physical tribute on the day, we would ask that partners, members of the Armed Forces community and residents adhere to those restrictions which have been put in place across the Liverpool City Region to keep us all safe."
