Bunches of flowers and cuddly toys have been laid near Southport Town Hall, where a vigil was held the night after the attack
King Charles III is in Southport today, where he plans to meet with survivors and grieving families after a tragic knife attack that left three children dead. The shocking incident occurred on July 29 during a Taylor Swift-themed dance class.
Amongst the tributes were balloons reflecting the ages of the lost children and heartfelt messages, including one poignant note which said: "God has gained three beautiful new angels... May you dance forever in heaven and be at peace." In the days following the heartbreaking attack in Southport, rioting broke out in the Merseyside town as well as across the country. The disorder saw looting and hotels housing asylum seekers targeted, before counter-demonstrations seemed to calm the disturbances.
King Charles requested daily briefings about the national situation when the disorder was at its peak following the Southport stabbings. It is unclear what issues he has been concentrating on, but he has long advocated for inter-faith dialogue as a means of uniting groups and has championed community cohesion.
