Problem Statement

Let ABC{ABC} be an acute angled triangle, let O{O} be its circumcentre, and let D,E,F{D,E,F} be points on the sides BC,CA,AB{BC,CA,AB}, respectively. The circle (c1){(c_1)} of radius FA{FA}, centered at F{F}, crosses the segment OA{OA} at A{A'} and the circumcircle (c){(c)} of the triangle ABC{ABC}again at K{K}. Similarly, the circle (c2){(c_2)} of radius DBDB, centered at DD, crosses the segment (OB)\left( OB \right) at B{B}' and the circle (c){(c)} again at L{L}. Finally, the circle (c3){(c_3)} of radius ECEC, centered at EE, crosses the segment (OC)\left( OC \right)at C{C}' and the circle (c){(c)} again at M{M}. Prove that the quadrilaterals BKFA,CLDBBKF{A}',CLD{B}' and AMECAME{C}' are all cyclic, and their circumcircles share a common point.
