‘Their kindness and thoughtfulness mean so much to our whole community as we come together to honour the memories of Alice and Bebe, two much-loved members of our school family.

‘As Alice’s dad Sergio, and I prepare to run the London Marathon today in their memory, we are deeply touched and encouraged by William’s and Kate’s support.’

In a separate statement, Sergio said, ‘This playground is exactly the sort of place which Alice would have loved. Her boundless energy, enthusiasm and creativity will be celebrated in the new playground by other pupils every day. And that’s a beautiful and befitting legacy to the community she loved so dearly.’

When the attack first happened last July, Kate and William were quick to share their thoughts and prayers with those who lost loved-ones. Posting a statement on X, they wrote, ‘As parents, we cannot begin to imagine what the families, friends and loved ones of those killed and injured in Southport today are going through.

‘We send our love, thoughts and prayers to all those involved in this horrid and heinous attack. Thank you also to the emergency responders who, despite being met with the most horrific scenes, demonstrated compassion and professionalism when your community needed you most.’
