Manchester Arena bombing survivor 'felt abandoned' by lack of emotional support after atrocity

A Manchester Arena bombing survivor who lost his partner in the attack says he felt abandoned by the lack of emotional support after the atrocity. Paul Price, 55, was waiting with his partner Elaine McIver, 43, for his daughter Gabrielle, then 13, and her friend to come out of the Ariana Grande concert when Salman Abedi detonated his home-made bomb.

Elaine, a police officer, died instantly, one of 22 people killed. Paul sustained several injuries including severe burns, broken bones, loss of hearing and embedded shrapnel, which remain in his groin, pelvis and back.

He spent just over eight months in hospital and has required 55 different operations, with more needed in the future. On the sixth anniversary of the attack, Paul has spoken detail about his ordeal - and the lack of support he's received.
