Tributes have been paid to two “much loved” grandparents who died after driving into a flooded area in Liverpool just days before their 54th wedding anniversary.

Elaine Marco, 75, and Philip Marco, 77, were found inside a black Mercedes on Queens Drive in Mossley Hill on Saturday and were taken to hospital where they were pronounced dead.
