Kate Garraway was visibly moved on Good Morning Britain as she and co-host Richard Madeley paid a heartfelt tribute on the show. Struggling to contain her emotions, Kate told viewers: "Good morning. The parents of Alice da Silver Aguiar, one of the three girls murdered at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport called for no more violence at an emotional funeral for their daughter.
" Richard added his voice, saying: "As we know, violent protests followed the deaths, all over the country, after misinformation online said that the suspect was an asylum seeker who'd arrived in the UK by boat which is complete nonsense." He continued, relaying the words of the Chief Constable of Merseyside at the funeral: "Addressing the mourners, the Chief Constable of Merseyside did not mince her words she told rioters to hang their heads in shame." In conversation with correspondent Katie Rickitt, who was reporting from Southport, Richard described the funeral as "unbelievably moving" and noted: "The whole community gathered to remember this beautiful, beautiful nine-year-old," reports the Mirror .
