So last week we had some technical difficulties and couldn’t get #TrendingLiverpool out to you. We did see Liverpool host the Mersey River Festival, the death of the world’s greatest and the start of the Euros 2016. I’ll throw a few highlights from last week into the mix for this weeks post.. However this week alone we have seen thing heat up with the EU referendum and tragic events surrounding that. In the city we have seen the Tunnel Run 10k, the African Oye festival in Sefton park and much more! Here is a selection of 17 tweets that I have highlighted for us from the past couple of weeks..

Asked my Dad why he wasn’t at the @Merseyfestival “I was there for 8 hours yesterday!” He’s 75. He spent 4 of them at the front of the stage

A fair point here..

Mad how on back to the future they thought we’d have flying cars in 2015, but really we use iPhones to watch midgets scrap on YouTube

I have no idea why nobody has thought of this..

Loads of Turkish kebab shops and barbers in Liverpool but no one doing both. Be boss if there was a kebarbers. “A donner and a perm mate.”

I have been touched by the online efforts of Charlies parents to raise funds to get Charlie much needed treatment in the states. If tweets are worth seeing, its these ones.. Let me leave you with these to retweet.

Let’s keep Charlie’s smiling and a family together. #charlieschance https://t.co/KqjW9jQf6j pic.twitter.com/AKW4vOtK0C
