Manchester Arena bombing inquiry: Liam Curry's mum's emotional statement in full

The mum of Manchester Arena bombing victim Liam Curry made an emotional speech today after it was revealed a potential chance to prevent the atrocity was missed.

Liam, 19, was killed alongside his 17-year-old girlfriend Chloe Rutherford when suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated his deadly device in the foyer of the venue after an Ariana Grade concert in May 2017.

The young couple, from South Shields, were among 22 people to lose their lives in the atrocity, which also killed Philip Tron, 32, and 19-year-old Courtney Boyle, both from Gateshead.
