An emotional Rory McIlroy appeared tearful as he paid tribute to the 'inspirational' fathers of two of the young girls murdered in the Southport attacks. Sergio Aguiar's daughter Alice da Silva Aguiar, 9, and David Stancombe's daughter Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7 were among the three victims of the killings carried out by Axel Rudakubana at a Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop in July 2024, along with Bebe King, 6. The two fathers ran the London Marathon earlier this year and received the Helen Rollason Award during the BBC Sports Personality of the Year ceremony in Salford on Thursday night. #rorymcilroy #spoty #southport
