Victim Support in 'tie a ribbon' tribute

A local charity is inviting people to pay tribute to a schoolgirl who was killed in Liverpool last week.

Victim Support is encouraging locals to tie a white ribbon along its railings on Albert Street in Douglas.

Twelve-year-old Ava White died last Thursday, shortly after the the city's Christmas lights switch-on. 

The charity says the ribbon initiative is in tribute to Ava, but also to show support for the 16 Days of Action to end violence against women.

People are asked to only go after 5pm on weekdays - to respect the privacy of clients.
