Calls of 'thank you for coming' followed the monarch as he made his way towards Southport Town Hall for a meeting with the brave children who'd survived the knife attack three weeks ago.
Flowers and teddies were tenderly placed outside Southport Town Hall - and the King was there to show his own support. He seemed visibly moved to see the tributes left to the three little girls who lost their lives in the knife attack on 29 July. Three weeks on, the crowds were grateful to see him.
This was about a community pulling together. This was recognition from the King for the incredible spontaneous response to the horror, as well as the work of the official authorities. He'd waited to visit so it didn't put any added pressure on the emergency services who have been through enough themselves. At the local fire station, he gave his personal thanks to all the blue light services, as well as taking time to talk to faith leaders.
