Lord Wajid Khan today visited Southport to personally thank the community for coming together in the face of last week’s events. The Minister for Faith and Communities paid his respects at the public memorial to Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, before laying flowers at the shrine outside Southport Town Hall. Lord Khan also joined a call with Sunderland community leaders to praise their unified response to this weekend’s disturbances before visiting Southport Central Mosque where he reiterated the government’s full support for faith leaders and joined the congregation for prayers. Lord Khan said: “I have been genuinely inspired by the outpouring of community togetherness by everyone I’ve met in Southport. “The community here is a perfect example of solidarity and love for one another in the face of appalling provocation and violence by thugs intent on spreading hate. “The events of the last week have shown the very best and worst of humanity but it is clear that that community spirit will not be defeated by those who want to divide us.”
