Nine-year-old Southport stabbing victim Alice da Silva Aguiar proudly shows off colourful makeup in newly released video

Keep smiling and dancing like you love to do, our princess

Alice's parents said in a tribute

They believe Alice has risen and is dancing in heaven with the angels. They know this isn’t the end … as her dad said to me, she’s gone dancing to heaven.”

Hey guys, it's me, I got [sic] my makeup on to test my teacher, look at this,

When mommy says ‘good night, Sergio, good night Alice’ – and then it hits us all over again. We don’t hear you back.”

Let her dance to heaven,

was the fervent wish of her parents, Sérgio and Alexandra, as they gathered to pay their last respects to their “beloved angel” who was killed in the mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class nearly a fortnight ago

Bye guys, see you later, bye,

Alice tells the camera before throwing up a peace sign with her fingers

Mummy and daddy will always, always love you.”

She doesn't speak at all.

Being around you was a privilege, we cherished every milestone

They’re wonderful people – very dignified and close to each other.”

Let your beaming smile guide you and you will forever be in our Churchtown hearts,

My brother-in-law is in such a state that he can't even talk to the family

You were born and raised into love and we loved cuddling you every night for almost nine years
