King Charles visits Southport to meet knife attack survivors and inspects floral tributes for victims


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

Messages shielded by plastic to preserve them expressed communal grief - one particularly moving tribute read: "God has gained three beautiful new angels...
