Fathers' Emotional Tribute Through London Marathon for Southport Victims' Daughters

The fathers of Southport victims completed the London Marathon to honor their daughters.

The fathers of two girls killed in the Southport attack, Sergio Aguiar and David Stancombe, entered the London Marathon to raise funds for projects in their daughters' memory. They received encouragement from Sir Keir Starmer. Alice Aguiar, nine, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Bebe King, six, were tragically killed last July. The race was an emotional journey for the fathers.

Mr Aguiar finished with a time of four hours and five minutes, while Mr Stancombe finished in four hours and 28 minutes. Bebe's parents cheered from the sidelines. The fundraising efforts aim to support various causes related to the girls' memory.
