Thousands of people gathered at the vigil for the victims of the attack in Southport.
Police closed the main road through the seaside town due to the crowds.
From speaking to people in the crowd, the community feels hurt at what happened but there’s also a sense of wanting to come together to help each other in their time of need.
Some businesses I spoke to today said they were closing early just so their staff could get down to the square in front of the Atkinson.
