Child visits WWI soldier memorial at Liverpool's St. Luke's ruins

A young child wearing a blue soccer jersey kneels on a rock base between two life-size bronze statues of World War I soldiers reaching out to touch hands over a soccer ball, in the ruins of St. Luke's Church in Liverpool, United Kingdom. The sculptures stand in front of a long, low hedge with pink roses. A poppy wreath lies on the ground to the lower left. The church ruins feature stone walls and arched window openings. The ground is a mix of grass and dirt.

The video shows a statue depicting two soldiers reaching out to shake hands over a soccer ball, positioned in front of the ruins of a church. The soldiers are dressed in World War I era uniforms and greatcoats. Behind the statue is a partially ruined stone building with arched windows. There is a bed of flowers and some lawn in front of the building. The video zooms in closer on the statue. Other people can be seen moving in the background.
