Visitors to Mathew Street will have noticed a glaring omission along the iconic walkway in recent months.
Following her passing in 2015, a statue of Cilla Black was commissioned by her sons and installed outside of The Cavern Club on Mathew Street in 2017.
But last year the statue was removed and the site where it once stood was cordoned off by a barrier - much to the disappointment of some tourists visiting the city.
