The driver stopped at the scene and is helping Merseyside Police with their enquiries. The force are also appealing for witnesses to the fatal incident.

Tributes to Charlie: Charlie’s mother described him as ‘football mad’ and said: “Charlie was taken away suddenly and we will always miss him. He was a huge LFC fan and knew everything about the team. He was also a keen cross country runner. He was exceptionally happy, very smart and very funny. Charlie loved school and loved life and he will be sorely missed by everyone.”

Charlie’s dad said: “There isn’t a word to describe how amazing and loved you are and how missed you will be. The most beautiful boy in the world. When you arrived I had to split my heart between you and your brother Daniel, sister Rachael and brother Bobby. I never knew for certain what real love was but I did when my amazing children entered my life.

“I will always cherish the short time I had with you, the hugs and kisses and laughs we had. The days out, you playing football and on Fifa. When I heard the tragic news, I came running to the hospital praying for a miracle. Charlie, I miss you mate so much it’s killing me inside as it is for your brothers and sister. All my love Charlie, I hope you rest in peace, Dad.”
