Mum and daughter who survived Manchester Arena bombing both studying to be nurses

A mum and daughter who survived the Manchester Arena bombing atrocity are both studying at the same university to become nurses - inspired by the care they received as they recovered from injuries. A photograph of shocked Eve Senior limping barefoot and bleeding from the scene with her jeans torn was beamed around the world in the aftermath of the terror attack.

Eve, just 14 at the time, was badly burnt and and suffered shrapnel injuries in the blast. Days later, as she lay in bed at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, surrounded by nurses, she vowed she would one day join their ranks. Now, five years later, Eve is a proud student children's nurse.

And her mum Natalie, 44, who also suffered shrapnel injuries, is at the same university, training to become a mental health nurse. Both are coming to the end of the first year of their degree courses. Mum Natalie laughed: "We both started at the same time but I was not allowed to join in fresher's week. She did not want to see her mum in the pub!"
