St George’s Hall’s Willis Organ has an impressive 7,737 pipes, making it the third largest of its kind in the country. It was built back in 1855.

Campaigners said: "However, instruments of this calibre require meticulous attention and care, and the Willis Organ is no exception. Without restoration, Liverpool risks losing a significant part of its historical identity and cultural legacy.

"The last restoration works on the organ took place over fifty years ago and now we urgently need your support."
