Hundreds attend peaceful Southport vigil for girls killed in stabbing.
Children blew bubbles and others left flowers and heart-shaped balloons on Monday evening in remembrance of the victims.
Hundreds of people have attended a peaceful vigil in Southport a week on from the murders of Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe and Alice Dasilva Aguiar.
Children blew bubbles and others left flowers and heart-shaped balloons on Monday evening in remembrance of the victims of the stabbing attack at a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club. Hundreds of bubbles were donated by local shops, arcades, charities and families of the victims, the event’s organiser said.
Teddy bears and toys were among the other gifts left in memory of the victims at the “Swifties Bubble Blow – Kisses To Heaven” event. Many of the children at the vigil were dressed in pink, with some leaving chalk messages on the pavement in front of The Atkinson arts centre in Southport town centre.
Event organiser Kylie Clift said: “I organised this event as I feel a great importance in our children being able to grieve too. “There will be time to take a moment and remember those we’ve lost and those who still continue to fight.
“We have the amazing Wendy Chalke singing a heartfelt song whilst we all come together as a community and blow as many bubbles as we can, blowing them ‘kisses’ to heaven.”
