Southport is a close-knit community and as we have seen, has naturally come together in the wake of this tragedy.
There has been an outpouring of support and generosity among the Southport community, and many have been gathering to lay flowers, balloons, and teddy bears in memory of Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar and all those affected.
