Today PCSOs are due to visit Queensgate Foundation Primary School to join Mrs Sillito and her staff to speak to the children and offer any reassurance.

Neighbourhood Inspector Sam Dunlop, who oversees the East Cowes area, said: ‘We know that the events in East Cowes last week have had a massive impact on the community and our thoughts are with Keziah’s mum and the families involved.

‘We are working closely with our partners to ensure those affected get the support, reassurance and advice they need.’
