King Charles has met with survivors of the fatal Southport knife attack and their families - and took time to inspect the floral tributes for the three tragic victims
King Charles paid a poignant visit to Southport to to meet survivors of the fatal knife attack and their families. Charles travelled to Merseyside on Tuesday, 20 August, for a private meeting to hear the experiences of some of the young children who were attacked at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class on 29 July.
In the wake of the tragedy, hundreds of floral arrangements and soft toys have been laid near the town hall, where a night vigil was held following the attack. The King gingerly navigated through the tributes, greeted by waves, handshakes, and applause from those present. Following last month's attack, riots broke out in Southport and across the country. The disorder included looting, with hotels housing asylum seekers also being targeted before counter-demonstrations seemed to calm the disturbances.
