Bebe’s mother and father Lauren and Ben King paid tribute to their daughter earlier this month, saying she “was full of joy, light and love”, and will remain in their hearts as a “sweet, kind and spirited girl”.They said Bebe’s older sister Genie, nine, witnessed the attack and managed to escape, praising her “incredible strength and courage”.
In a post on social media, Southport MP Patrick Hurley said: “Today is the funeral of Bebe King. My thoughts and prayers are with her family through this difficult time.“In honouring their wishes for a private funeral, I encourage anyone who wishes to pay their respects to light a candle in Bebe’s memory and to work for a better future.” The deaths of the three children sparked riots across parts of England dominated by far right thugs, after false information spread online the attacker was an illegal immigrant.
