The family of Alfie Evans will hold a vigil at Goodison Park in memory of the 23-month-old who died a year ago today.
Alfie was at the centre of a battle between his parents, Tom and Kate, and Alder Hey Children's Hospital whose doctors sought to end life support as he suffered from a rare neurological condition which they said meant this was in his best interests.
After several legal challenges that life support was withdrawn, and Alfie died nearly a week later - on April 28, 2018.
Today Tom and Kate will be joined by other family members at Goodison , with the club announcing the Dixie Dean statue, where the vigil will be held, and Sir Philip Carter Park will be lit up in Alfie's memory.

The lights will be blue - representing the family's love of the club - and purple, the colour adopted by the family's many thousands of supporters to show their backing for the cause.
Everton say the club and Everton in the Community are currently supporting Alfie's parents, who in September welcomed new arrival Thomas , in their efforts to form a charitable foundation in Alfie's name.
The club and family have built strong ties since the legal case came to light, with Tom being awarded Everton chairman Bill Kenwright's Blueblood Award last year.
The award is for people who Mr Kenwright believes "embody the Evertonian spirit."
After being presented with the award, Tom said: “My dream as a child was to play for Everton. I remember watching Rooney score that goal against Arsenal in my brother’s bedroom and I wanted to follow in those footsteps.
“Then when we had Alfie I wanted the same for him. I wear the badge with pride no matter the situation and Alfie wore his no matter his situation.
“I couldn’t be more proud to support this club because of the support I’ve received and I’m just glad Alfie got to wear the kit and was part of Everton."
