Princess Kate has made an emotional pilgrimage with Prince William to Southport to comfort the families of the three girls who lost their lives in July's knife attack tragedy. She met with the families and also spoke to emergency responders, hailing them as 'true heroes'. This was her first public engagement since completing chemotherapy treatment and her return to public duties. The couple also spent time with dance teacher Leanne Lucas, who was seriously injured as she shielded youngsters during the attack. They pledged to continue standing with the community in Southport.
