Southport

Hundreds gathered today for the funeral of Elsie Dott Stankombe, the 7-year-old killed in the Southport knife attack in northwest England, which sparked far-right riots across the country in late July.

King Charles traveled to northern England today to pay tribute to the victims and families affected by a knife attack last month, which sparked riots and racist attacks against Muslims and migrants.

Recent riots have erupted across various cities in Britain, largely fueled by far-right groups, following the tragic stabbing deaths of three young girls during a dance lesson in Southport, North West England.

The next 24 hours are expected to be challenging for British authorities, as dozens of rallies by far-right groups are planned across the United Kingdom today, continuing the unrest that erupted after the massacre of three little girls in Southport on July 29.

The U.K. government said on Tuesday that 6,000 specialist police officers were ready to deal with far-right rioting.

The unrest broke out last  week on July 30 after three children were killed in a stabbing spree at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, northwest England.

Riots have since flared up in several cities and towns, leading to hundreds of arrests.
