"Since then, he's been keeping an incredibly close eye on the situation in Southport and the subsequent riots. In fact, he asked to be given daily updates from various organisations.
"He had a phone call with the Prime Minister as well as the National Police Chiefs Council, among others. So later on today, the King is expected to arrive at the town hall in Southport.
"It's there where he is expected to be meeting survivors from that Taylor Swift's themed dance class and their families, as well as some of the other members of the local community.
"I can see crash barriers have been set up outside the town hall, which suggests to me that he may be wanting to meet ordinary members of the public here, local communities.

"Of course, that's not been confirmed by Buckingham Palace, but I wouldn't be surprised if that does indeed happen following his visits to the town hall.
"The King is going to be going to the local community fire station here in Southport, where he will be meeting emergency service workers who responded to the initial attack on the 29th of July, but also had to respond to the riots which were sparked by that attack.
"So he's going to be meeting police, fire and ambulance workers, as well as leaders from local faith groups here in Southport. If you remember, there was violent disorder outside of a mosque in Southport."
Cameron explained that the King has a "long-standing mission" to connect community leaders of all faiths and will be doing this at the fire station in Southport.

ReutersHe said: "The King has a long-standing mission, I suppose even when he was Prince of Wales, to talk about community cohesion and getting different faith leaders to talk to each other and dialogue between different faiths and to keep the peace essentially. So I can imagine that's going to be a key theme of today."
Violence and disorder broke out across the UK after the three girls were killed and false information was spread online that stated the suspect was an immigrant.
Charles has broken off his summer holiday to visit Southport today and will be making a quick trip to London tomorrow to welcome the victims families in Buckingham Palace.
