We have sad news. One of Liverpool's finest exports Brian Jacques has passed away at the age of only 71.
He grew up in a very normal part of Liverpool and was a hardworking docker and union man, he developed a wonderful show on local radio that engrossed us all each sunday morning as he recounted his Wavertree chronicles and this led to him becoming a hugely popular bestselling multinational author, he wrote the awesome fantasy series Redwall and for 20 years topped the charts here and in the US where he was massive selling 21 million books.
He last year took part in Sefton Celebrates writing and we also had him help in Capital of Culture Year when he received his homnnourary doctorate. The Tv series was very popular as still are his books.

Lots of us will miss him but we can still read him.
