The legacy of the public inquiry into the Manchester Arena bombing must be to 'change the face of counter-terrorism' and guarantee 'accountability' at all public venues in the future, the mother of one of the 22 who lost their lives in the atrocity has said.
After 30 months of harrowing but crucially important evidence, the inquiry will finally come to an end later today (Thursday, March 2) with the publication of the chairman's final report of three - a volume widely expected to heap criticism on MI5 and counter-terrorism policing over the monitoring through the years of mass murderer Salman Abedi.
The evidence heard by the inquiry as a whole, it was said, would likely have an 'enduring effect' on Greater Manchester and its people forever.
