Today, the brothers were laid to rest as thousands joined his family and LFC players in Portugal.

And tributes from the football world and beyond have continued to flood in for the father of three, who had married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso just 12 days ago.

Following the news on Thursday the ECHO spent much of the day speaking to tearful Liverpool fans who started to gather by the statue of legendary manager Bill Shankly to lay down scarves and flowers - you can read what they said here.



The club also opened both physical and digital books of condolences in memory of Jota and brother Andre, with hundreds queuing to enter reception of the Anfield Road Stand.



People have continued to travel from far and wide today to pay their respects.

Showing the ECHO the Liverpool shirt and flowers she'd placed outside 97 Avenue, the mum said: “We’ve flown over from Dublin this morning to lay a tribute on behalf of the Dublin supporters club.

It’s one big family Liverpool, we’ve always stuck together, look at Hillsborough.

It’s just devastating, it was only last month that we were celebrating when Liverpool won the league."

Matthew and his family travelled along the M62 from Manchester to place flowers and balloons outside the stadium.

We’ve put some flowers on the Hillsborough memorial then we're going to find a space for our flowers and balloons, not that there is much space left, there are that many tributes here.”

It’s just a sad sad loss and my heart goes out to his family, those young kids."

Speaking about Diogo Jota, Geoff told the ECHO how he was "special." He said: "He just had something about him and not all players have that but he did and you can always count on Liverpool to find players with that something.
