THE mother of murdered student Anthony Walker said a TV tribute paid to her son by a dance troupe will help tackle knife crime.
Merseyside-based MD Showgroup highlighted the work done by a charity set up in Anthony’s name moments after their act in the semi-final of Britain’s Got Talent.
The children also dedicated their routine to murdered schoolboy Rhys Jones.
Gee Walker hopes the group’s efforts will spur others to make a difference to reduce knife-related incidents and bullying.
She said: “It is wonderful to see so many young people who believe in, and are actively working towards the cultural harmony that we, as a charity, aim to achieve.
“It’s so rewarding to see young people like MD Showgroup who want to make a change, and go to such great lengths to get their message across.
“Anthony would be proud to know that they are getting the message out that bullying needs to stop.”
