The chance to see American singer Ariana Grande perform had been an exciting occasion for her legions of fans, and proved a 'fantastic' spectacle for young Yorkshire concert-goer Harry Shillito - until the unthinkable happened.

Mr Shillito, aged 20, of Dewsbury, was at last night’s concert at Manchester Arena with his partner Chloe, also aged 20.

“The concert had just finished and I was making my way out to the concourse area when I heard the loudest explosion; the loudest noise I’ve heard in my life,” he said.
