Hundreds of people came out in Birkenhead on the day to celebrate his remarkable life.
“We have already received a range of great ideas and offers to work with us from local artists and communities, which will all be considered as part of our Borough of Culture preparations for next year. We will, of course, wish to discuss all plans with Paul’s family, friends and supporters in time."
The council added that following Paul's funeral last week they wish to respect the request from his loved ones for the time and space to come to terms with his loss.Debris scattered across road after multiple cars crashRoad where crashes leave neighbours 'stressed' and scared for children
