A nan has been called a "national treasure" for spreading joy and "sparkle" across the globe.
Dot is a 91 year-old true "Scouse lady" who welcomes people across the world every week. The ECHO previously reported that she welcomes tourists who visit a famous Liverpool landmark.
Dennis Cliffe, who works for City Explorer Liverpool, often takes tourists to Paul McCartney's old childhood home at 20 Forthlin Road in Allerton as part of the Beatles tours. Since working for the company Dennis has gotten to know Dot, 91, who lives nearby.
