Southport victim’s family hold funeral for 7-year-old daughter, Elsie

Hundreds of people lined the streets of Southport today for the funeral of seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe - one of the three girls killed at a dance class last month.

Nine-year-old Alice Aguiar and six-year-old Bebe King were laid to rest earlier this month.

Mourners were told that Elsie had been "living her best life every single day".

Three innocent little children. Three angels. It is beyond comprehension how can a human being do such a cruel act.

I don't know how these parents do it .. I just don't know. I don't think I would have survived it if it happened to me.

The woman minister is talking about the community moving on, yes but the parents and the little sister are continuing within their prison cells forever.

Rest in Peace. This is out of control, been a number of attacks since this one and now in Germany again.
What has happened to our lovely mainly peaceful countries.

When was the last time 3 children were stabbed to death in this country?

[harrydoyley]

Anyone else noticed the stabbing in Didsbury also only got reported on for a single day with 3 people stabbed and 1 confirmed dead at the beginning of this week and now nothing?

The vicar seemed a little too smiley and happy considering it was a childs funeral who had been taken in the worst possible way

[johnoswald]

Tragic, would like to see swift justice for this horrendous injustice.
