Merseyside's Police and Crime Commissioner Emily Spurrell said:

"I am absolutely appalled by the disgraceful scenes of violence in Southport tonight.

"This is a community which has faced unimaginable tragedy, and it is grieving. Such behaviour is abhorrent and only causes further harm and suffering.

"Officers are working around the clock to get justice for the families. It is completely unacceptable that they – and the wider community - are now being put in danger by those who would bring violence and disorder to our streets."
