us so far to give witness accounts or supply information or video footage. The response so far has been of great assistance in progressing the investigation. We have had more than 500


submissions to the Major Incident Police Portal (MIPP) and a team of detectives are currently working through the information provided. “I would continue to appeal for anyone who has

said: “As a person has now been charged in connection with this incident, I would like to remind people not to speculate or share information or footage which could in any way jeopardise the


case. “We understand that emotions are still running high, and people are seeking answers, but it is vital that we allow the matter to go through the judicial process.” A fundraiser for


victims of Liverpool's trophy parade incident has surpassed £50,000 in donations. An emergency fund set up to support those injured in Monday's incident has already received over


£50k in donations. The 'Liverpool Spirit Appeal' has been launched by the Community Foundation for Merseyside in partnership with Liverpool City Council and the Liverpool Charity


and Voluntary Services (LCVS). The money raised will provide support to those affected, starting with individuals identified by emergency services as needing hospital or psychological care.
