King Charles III is visiting the seaside town of Southport on Tuesday to meet survivors of a stabbing rampage that resulted in the tragic deaths of three young girls. This horrific event has sparked more than a week of social unrest across the UK.

The monarch traveled to the community northwest of Liverpool for a private meeting where he will listen to the experiences of some of the children who were brutally attacked at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class on July 29.

Crowds cheered for the king as he arrived at Southport Town Hall, where mourners had placed flowers and cuddly toys in tribute to the slain children. The victims, Bebe King, 6, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9, were killed in the attack that led to rioting in Southport and across the country.
