Violence erupted on the streets of Southport on July 30, 2024 - a day after the tragic murder of seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe, nine-year-old Alice da Silva Aguiar, and six-year-old Bebe King during a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the Merseyside town.
The attacker, Axel Rudakubana, was later sentenced to a minimum of 52 years in prison.
The unrest began after false information spread online, falsely claiming the attacker was a Muslim asylum seeker.
The disorder quickly escalated and spread across England and Northern Ireland, including riots in towns and cities such as Blackpool.
The violence, which lasted just over a week, ended following dozens of large counter-demonstrations nationwide.
This wave of riots was the most severe the UK has seen since the 2011 disturbances, which involved widespread looting, arson and resulted in five deaths.
