Elsie Dot Stancombe's teacher reads classmates’ tributes

A “special day” is held to celebrate the life of a seven-year-old, Elsie Dot Stancombe, killed in the Southport knife attack.

In a tribute, teacher Katie Sykes, from Farnborough Road School, said Elsie had the ability to light up any room she entered.

Ms Sykes read out memories from her classmates: “Elsie was always teaching me when we played together, Elsie loved to make me laugh,” one classmate said.
