PM wishes Southport victims’ families luck ahead of London Marathon

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has wished luck to two fathers whose daughters were killed in the Southport attack as they prepare to run the London Marathon.
Sergio Aguiar and David Stancombe entered the race to raise money for projects set up in their daughters’ memory. Alice Aguiar, nine, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Bebe King, six, were killed last July while they attended a Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop.
Mr Aguiar told BBC Breakfast it was “good” to have received a message from the PM. “We want to say thank you for all the support,” he said.
Mr Stancombe added: “Even now it still blows me away that so many people know about it and you’re getting messages from the prime minister.”
“I would love people to know I’ve seen their message, but I have genuinely read so many of them. It’s amazing,” he added.
