LIVERPOOL council has refused to fly the union flag from its buildings to celebrate Prince Andrew’s birthday.

The city’s Labour mayor Joe Anderson confirmed today that Liverpool will not be marking the occasion, despite having received government orders to mark the Duke of Yorks’s 60th birthday on February 19.

However, the order comes in spite of the Queen cancelling the Prince’s formal royal birthday celebrations on the same day.
