Touching tributes have been paid to a 'bubbly little girl' who died after complaining of 'belly ache'.
John Woods' daughter, Carly, was just 11-years-old when she died on Monday, November 1 in Alder Hey Children's Hospital.
John said the day before she fell ill, she had been playing outside and was her 'normal happy self'.

After complaining of bellyache and being taken to hospital, Carly was transferred to Alder Hey where the family was given the devastating news.
The 11-year-old had been been diagnosed with a rare type of liver cancer called 'Hepatocellular neoplasm not otherwise specified HC-NOS', which had spread to her lungs.
Sadly, Carly died surrounded by her loving parents on Monday, November 1.
ECHO readers have paid tribute to the bubbly young girl who 'always had a smile on her face'.
One reader said: "So sad Rest in peace young lady.."
Another added: "Why is life so cruel? God has taken her far too soon. Absolutely heartbreaking. Love to the family."
Dad John, from Skelmersdale, previously told the ECHO: "I think for both of us it's not even sunk in yet. I'm still numb. The only thing that's getting me through it is making it [Carly's funeral] the best day possible for her.
"We're having horses and carriages with the horses dressed as unicorns because that was one of her favourite things.
"She was a bubbly little girl. Everyone knew her for having wild hair. She always had a smile on her face and her teachers said to me she was always complimenting somebody."
Doctors told the parents they would need to administer an invasive and experimental form of chemotherapy immediately to rid Carly's lungs of tumours before she would be able to have a liver transplant.
Surgery was performed and when she eventually woke up, her parents were told they would have to get her salt levels higher before they could administer the treatment, so they went home for the night.
But the next day, more devastating news was given after they were told there was medically nothing more they could do as Carly would be 'unable to take the chemotherapy'.
