Summary at a Glance

Swift invited the families to her Wembley shows last summer, while Charles travelled to Southport and spent 45 minutes with some of the children who survived the attack, along with their families, after viewing a sea of floral tributes to the victims.

The parents of two girls, aged eight and 10 at the time they were injured in the attack in the Hart Space, have spoken to The Times about the difficulties they have faced since last July.

Axel Rudakubana, 18, murdered Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, at a Taylor Swift-themed class in the Merseyside town in July last year, when he was 17.

The couple said the police, paramedics, doctors, nurses, hospital security and cleaners could “not have done more for us”, adding that they are grateful to the King and to Swift for being “so lovely” with their children.
