It is understood that Kelly went to the concert with her sister and niece but they became separated after the blast, caused by a suicide bomber who detonated an improvised explosive device just moments after the show finished.

Tracy Booth, posting on Facebook, said her granddaughter, Hollie Booth, broke her legs in the blast and the girl's mum, Claire - Kelly's sister - suffered a broken jaw.

She said Kelly had 'shielded' Hollie.

Payton Williams, also posting on Facebook, wrote "She went to the concert in Manchester last night and was separated from her sister.

"If anyone has seen her or heard from her please please can you let us know - her family and friends are really worried."
