A survivor of the devastating Manchester Arena bombing has spoken out about the tragic terror attack which claimed his partner's life almost five years ago. Paul Price was at the arena on May 22, 2017 with his wife Elaine waiting to collect their daughter Gabrielle, then aged 13, from the Ariana Grande concert when the unthinkable happened.
Paul's partner police officer Elaine McIver, 43, lost her life in the suicide bombing as one of the 22 murdered by Salman Abedi. As next month marks five years since the suicide bombing, Paul has now bravely spoken out to reflect on losing his partner and the aftermath that has affected his life ever since.
Paul, who sustained life-changing injuries as a result of the bombing, says he owes his life to T-shirt and poster seller Paul Reid, 48, who was one of the first on the scene after Abedi detonated a device in a rucksack. Mr Reid stayed with Paul, keeping him conscious until an ambulance arrived.
