Tributes have been left to "Lord Pendlebury" at the scene where a dog walker found a man dead in a woodland.
Emergency services were called to Vyner Road North, in Prenton, on Wednesday after the tragic discovery was made at Bidston Hill.
Police cordoned off the area before launching an investigation into the death of the man who has been named locally as 39-year-old Andrew Pendlebury.
It is believed that Andrew's family and next of kin were made aware shortly after the body was discovered and have since left moving floral tributes and touching notes amongst the trees.
A heart shaped balloon saying "I love you Daddy" was also placed beside a handwritten message on the ground which said "RIP Andy".
The tributes showed just how loved Andrew was by his family and close friends.
A loved one said: "To Lord Pendlebury.
"My heart will never heal from this. You were my penguin. There is never going to be another like you.
"You were a rare diamond. Me, you, together forever.
"Your Wench xxx."
Another message said: "You were taken so suddenly I never got to say goodbye.
"We had so many good times together, done things I will never forget.
"You will always be in my heart and my mind brother.
"Love you mate and I am going to miss you so much."
In two other messages it was clear how many lives Mr Pendlebury had touched.
One tribute said: "To my brother from another mother.
" No-one is prepared at all for this. Words can't describe how missed and loved you are.
"I will treasure our amazing memories forever. Until we meet again.
"Goodnight, sleep tight bro, love you always."
Another loved one added: "Dear Andy, I love you lots, promise you'll never leave me.
"I will never forget you. I know that when you're up in heaven you will see me."
Tributes have also been posted on social media with many people sharing their condolences with Andrew's family after the tragedy.
On Facebook, Carl Williams said: "Thoughts with the mans family."
Jan1958 also said: "So sad. RIP. His poor family x."
Lou91 added: "That poor man. Rest in peace xxx."
