On July 29, Bebe King, six, Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, died, while several others were injured. The inquests will be officially launched in Bootle Town Hall in Merseyside.
It follows Alice’s church ceremony on Tuesday afternoon, during which the nine-year-old was praised as “the most beautiful, strongest girl in the world.”
The liturgy at St Patrick’s Church in Southport featured moving speakers in both English and Portuguese.
One of Alice’s classmates commented, “You will be in our hearts forever.” You are the most kind person in the world.
We know you’re the strongest female we’ve ever met.
A member of Alice’s school staff read out comments from her classmates, one of which read: Alice, so lovely and caring, with a smile so bright, forever in our hearts.
Following the wedding, the congregation gathered outside the church to perform a rendition of You Are My Sunshine.
