Liverpool FC fans have been queuing in Liverpool ONE today for a chance to see the Premier League trophy up close.

In-store trophy viewings are free and do not require booking but do operate on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Liverpool ECHO spoke to fans in the queue.

The boys were cheering and singing all the songs."

A spokesperson for the store said they expected that everyone queueing would get an opportunity to see the trophy, with around 20 to 30 people being let in to view the trophy at a time.

Fans were given raffle tickets to show they had queued to see the trophy, and the store remained open to shoppers.
