Supporters, some clutching yellow flowers and wearing Alfie's Army t-shirts, gathered outside Goodison Park, waiting to bid a final farewell to the 'boy who touched hearts around the world'. The toddler's private funeral was held in the city this morning but supporters were invited by his parents Tom Evans and Kate James to watch the procession as it passed Everton FC's Goodison Park. Alfie's father Tom has said he always dreamed of taking his son to Goodison to watch his beloved Toffees. Tearful Joanne Blair, 34, said: 'I just wanted to give Tom and Kate a big hug when they went past. 'Those who have not been invited to the funeral are asked to avoid the area to allow Alfie's family to grieve privately.'
