A 53-year-old man, thought to be the driver, was arrested at the scene, with police saying the crash was not being investigated as an act of terrorism.

Liverpool Football Club said they were working with Merseyside Police, adding: “Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been affected by this serious incident. We will continue to offer our full support to the emergency services and local authorities who are dealing with this incident.”

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said: “Everyone, especially children, should be able to celebrate their heroes without this horror. The city has a long and proud history of coming together through difficult times. Liverpool stands together and the whole country stands with Liverpool.”

The club has a tragic history after 96 of its fans were crushed to death during overcrowding at Hillsborough Stadium in 1989.
