Foundation set up in Southport victim's name to spread ‘magic'
The parents of one of the victims of the Southport attack hope to spread 'magic' through a foundation set up in her name to encourage children's love of dance. Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, was killed along with Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and six-year-old Bebe King when Axel Rudakubana, 18, launched his knife attack on a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the town on July 29 last year. Her parents Sergio and Alexandra Aguiar told BBC Breakfast on Wednesday they have set up the Alice's WonderDance foundation in their daughter's memory. Mrs Aguiar said her daughter began dancing when she was 16 or 17-months-old and danced 'non-stop' from then. She said: 'Alice's WonderDance is a foundation we created in the name of Alice just to show everyone how wonderful Alice was. 'We just want to provide fun for children in the world of dance.' She said the logo for the charity features ballet shoes and a magic wand to 'spread the magic in her name'. Money raised could go towards dance classes for after-school clubs, uniforms for children or university funding for young dancers, Mrs Aguiar said. Mr Aguiar is set to take on six marathons across the world to raise funds, starting in Berlin next month. He said: 'Every mile I run is for her and her name. I just think about her.' He ran the London Marathon earlier in the year to raise money for a new playground at Churchtown Primary School, where Alice was a pupil. The family said they have received support from Elsie's Story and Bebe's Hive – funds set up in memory of the other two victims. Mr Aguiar said: 'We try to work together like a team, try to help each other.' Family friend Sarah Buck told the programme the foundation is also selling merchandise, including T-shirts, bags and hats, to raise money.

Waterworld refutes claims tragic girl, 4, was in wave pool
Waterworld has refuted claims that a four-year-old girl who died had been in the wave pool. Staffordshire Police were called to reports of a four-year-old girl in a critical condition following an incident at Waterworld at Festival Park on Monday, August 8. The girl was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital where she later died of her injuries. According to reports, the incident took place in the lagoon area of the park. Other parents have since come forward to say their children got into difficulty in the wave pool. However, Waterworld has confirmed no waves were operating at the time of the tragedy.

We confirm that this incident did not take place in the Wave Pool, nor were the waves on at the time. "We have worked in full cooperation with the authorities during their investigations, resulting in them permitting Waterworld to re pen as normal from Wednesday August 6. Waterworld welcomes around 250,000 visitors per year and, as you can imagine, our safety procedures are extremely rigorous. "In relation to your quoted visitor's comments about the Wave Pool… An audible siren sounds every time the waves are about to start and the waves build up gradually after the siren. The only entrance to the Wave Pool is via the shallow end, with a sloped beach entry, giving guests full visibility and discretion over whether to enter with their children. "Safety has always been, and will remain, our top priority so that every visitor can enjoy their time at Waterworld Aqua Park." Police have yet to confirm the cause of death and have asked the public to avoid speculation on social media. Get daily headlines and breaking news emailed to you - it's FREE
