WE SHALL OVERCOME: Volunteers sweep Sussex Road in Southport, Merseyside, after violent protests following a vigil for three girls killed in a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club, Wednesday July 31

THE tragic events in Southport on Monday July 29, in which three innocent children lost their lives, saw the local community come together at a time of terrible pain and grief for the families and others affected.

There were still other children and two adults also lying in hospital dealing with serious physical injuries and left with unimaginable psychological trauma, trauma no doubt shared by many across our communities.

We now know, that those affected families and the wider community were not allowed to properly grieve and come to terms with the horror that had unfolded.
