We’ve received a lot of messages in the last 24hrs, sorry I couldn’t reply to everyone but I’m sure you understand why. Thank you for your kindness and support, it means a lot. Teddy my 7 yr old daughter was at the horrific incident in Southport yesterday. She went in with her best friend, a friend she was so lucky to have; the smartest, prettiest little angel from the best family you could ever wish to know. It breaks my heart to say her little friend has been taken away from this cruel world. We just pray she is in peace and her family find the strength to get through this. Her Mum, My Dad an I were one of the first at scene, when only 3 officers present so the media reports of it being armed officers who detained him is not true - it was local, every day police officers. They defied orders and risked their own lives to protect the lives of children from our community. The things witnessed will live in our memories forever. Those same police officers; who get paid less than a McDonald’s manager, got home, hugged their own kids and got back up this morning to do it all again, are now being attacked on the streets. No matter what your political views are, they are not the problem. Please, for the sake of the poor victims and their families, STOP THE VIOLENCE. We will forever be in debt to Leanne, Heidi, Greg, Joel, John and every other hero who helped save so many lives. 💙 ❤️💜
@HightownJFL Thinking of everyone affected 💔
@HightownJFL I am so so sorry. What a horrible thing to have had to live through. Many many people are sending you all love and prayers. 🫶
@HightownJFL Thoughts are with you and all the families affected. As a father I can't imagine what you are going through. X
@HightownJFL What a terrible waste of young lives with so much potential.
@HightownJFL This👆❤️💙❤️💙 Our thoughts with everyone affected in the community
@HightownJFL My condolences for what your daughter, yourself and family have been through
@HightownJFL You and all of the victims and police officers are in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🙏🙏
@HightownJFL My heartfelt condolences! I lost my best friend, literally the boy next door (we even discussed marriage😂) died tragically in 3rd grade. We lived in a small college town, so everyone knew. I cried every night for a year. I can’t imagine how hard it was for Colin’s family🙏🙏🙏
@HightownJFL And I pray that there are no more deaths from this tragedy!. I hope that Teddy recovers and can go on to live a fulfilled happy life as I hope this for all the survivors.
@HightownJFL Thankyou for taking the time out to write this! I am sure your day must be filled with other things now that you never thought you would ever have to confront! I hope that the police officers who were first on scene get the support they need.
@HightownJFL so sorry for your loss. i cant imagine what you guys are going though. thoughts and prayers 🙏💞
@HightownJFL Thank you for sharing this. The people attacking the police officers who heroically risked their lives yesterday should be ashamed of themselves. My thoughts are with the bereaved and the children like your daughter who probably saw things that will haunt them forever.
@HightownJFL Thinking of you all,we cannot comprehend the pain you are all going through 😢😢💔💔
@HightownJFL For all the children, especially those who got their wings way too early in life.
@HightownJFL I am so sorry You don't know me, your post came up on my feed I am heartbroken to read your message My thoughts are with you, your daughter and her friends family trying to navigate the unimaginable 🙏🤍
@HightownJFL What you all have gone & will go through is utterly heartbreaking. Please know that up & down the UK, & across the world, kind people are broken by this incident. Those who have fuelled hate do not represent us. Please do know you are all in our hearts 💕
@HightownJFL i am so so sorry that this has happened & that your family is going through this. words probably can't help heal the wounds that have been created. i hope you are all getting the support & help that is needed & i am deeply sorry about the loss of her friend 💔
@HightownJFL I am so sorry. This mob behaviour is such an insult to the memory of those beautiful angels & to those of you dealing with this trauma. I can’t even imagine what you all must be going through, it’s unbelievably cruel
@HightownJFL Sad to hear your little one lost a friend. No child, especially one being as young as 7 should have to go through that. Glad to hear she is still with us. God willing the mental damage of it all is very minimal 🙏❤️
@HightownJFL @vic1212020 So much love and support is being beamed at Southport and the community from every decent person in the UK. Those people drunkenly fighting outside a mosque ( which had nothing to do with the horror Southport suffered) are a poisonous minority.
@HightownJFL Thoughts with you all, just heartbreaking 💔 Thoughts too with the police, scenes from tonight of these brave officers being pelted by a mob are sickening.
@HightownJFL So sorry for your daughters loss of a friend in such horrendous circumstances. Thank you to those who rushed to help. Police and public alike. Thoughts with you and all involved, praying for those in hospital . Shame on those who wreaked havoc again last night.
@HightownJFL Sending your family lots of love. So sorry for what you’re all going through 🩷
@HightownJFL My heart goes out to everyone involved in this horrific event. My love to you all & those brave police officers & others who risked their lives for the sake of others. 💔🫂💜
@HightownJFL My heart breaks for you all! 💔
@HightownJFL I'm so sorry that some are jumping on this horrific tragedy for political reasons, and I hope to god your daughter and all those affected by the murders can get through this.
