I do hope and pray that his family can cope with his loss.

I truly am sorry for his parents and family today.

There are no words for the loss, I just hope now they are left alone by those who had their own agenda, so they can grieve for their son in peace.

RIP Alfie.

I’m new to all the Alfie Army stuff I thought it was just a few protesters but the Instagram page and comments are ridiculous. Have you all seen the latest FB video asking everybody to the hospital?

These people are deranged!

Sorry just seen outoftheway post

Alfie's Auntie has just posted saying the reports of Tom barricading himself in with Alfie are false. Why oh why are people saying shit like this? That poor little boy still given no dignity by utter morons after his passing. His family must be shattered to pieces seeing this sort of stuff

My sympathies are with the family for their loss

Taking the emotional side out of the equation.

If the hospital had to issue an open letter saying their staff had received abuse for just doing their job, something is not right.

If he had gone abroad, could he have been cured or kept alive with intervention?

Medical science has achieved amazing things in the past 50 years but it can’t cure everything.

Sad fact of life, the media circus will move on but the family will still be grieving for their loss.

Hopefully, what comes out of this, is a discussion of what happens if something similar happens in the future.

I am really pissed off with the american contingent comparing this to nazi practice. All it does is show how little they understand about a) medicine b) nhs c) this case d) law.

Rest in peace Alfie. And all those other hundreds of babies and children this happens too every single day. I wish we could know all your names.

The AH fb page seems to be getting spammed with the words "killers" and "murderers" with some being in a different language. I have no words. I hope that the so-called Army let the family grieve in peace and remember that he was their son and not "our Alfie."

Omg I'm so shocked at the posts on the AH Facebook pages.

What is wrong with people?

I've just seen the FB page and I'm shocked by the comments.

Are people so concerned with their own beliefs, that they'd rather have a child suffer treatment after treatment, than accept that nothing could have been done to prolong his life in a way that meant that he could have a good quality of life?

I hope these morons are dealt with. And if by some slim chance they have jobs or contribute to society in anyway their scummy behaviour is exposed to all

Please not a balloon release.

RIP Alfie, you fought so bravely and made such an impact in your short little life. There is no doubt how much your parents loved you.

I really feel for the parents here, I think they’ve been exploited by people with their own agenda which Alfie’s best interests wasn’t a part of or at least their main priority. I somehow ended up in a Facebook discussion about it on a American group and when I tried to politely express my views that it wasn’t in Alfie’s best interests to go to Italy etc I was abused and ridiculed horribly because I didn’t agree with their frankly ludicrous conspiracy theories about the hospital and it’s staff, the British judiciary etc. It really upset me to be told I wanted this beautiful baby to die and I had to go on a blocking spree and close my Facebook account to get away from it.

I hope once the dust settles there can be some genuine reflection on this. I also really feel for the staff in Alder Hey right now, they are heroes too. I am a paediatric nurse and I don’t think I could have gone through what they’ve been through. I am sure they are all supporting each other through this.

What pisses me off about some American views are that they forget that they have to pay insurance for medical treatment ,what happens to those in low paid jobs and those who don't have insurance ? So yes there's lots more choice but only for those who can afford it and tbh all the money in the world wouldnt have helped here

RIP Alfie Evans . Peace to your family.

Wishing peace to the family and hoping Alfie had a easy death.

But the false news reports etc.
You would think these people who claim to love Alfie, would respect him enough to let him lie in peace.

Some have suggested a candle lit vigil which would be rather more appropriate.

I don't think a ballon release is too bad, it lets people say goodbye, far better than false news reports or encouraging vengeance on SH

I read an article that claimed some protesters had been there weeks and were sleeping in their cars (and using AH to wash and recharge their phones), the ceremony might be a way of giving them closure.

It's not about doing a tribute, it's the huge environmental damage balloons cause. Kills wildlife at worst and pollutes land and sea.

I'm so angry.

For people who were all about supporting life, they have a funny way of showing it.

I hope that Alfie's family can have some peace today. Judging by the idiots on SM, I doubt it.

Those certain ones in AA are proving that in fact, it's all about THEM and how they feel and not Alfie or his parents. Sickening.

A balloon release is really not a good idea. Likely to cause death and/or injury to wildlife but I guess the army don't think about things like that or care about wildlife

A balloon release is likely to kill other creatures and leaves litter - not my idea of an appropriate way to remember someone and grieve. There are a million other better ways to say goodbye.
