A man who fought to save a victim at the 2017 Manchester Arena terror attack has said the response to the bombing was 'all wrong' and that 'big mistakes' were made.
Survivor Ron Blake spoke to the BBC ahead of the publication of the long-awaited second report on the response today. For the first time, he told how he tried to save John Atkinson, 28, in the suicide bombing after the Ariana Grande concert.
Mr Blake was praised for his 'heroic' efforts, but Mr Atkinson tragically died from his injuries. He was not seen by paramedics for 47 minutes, which Mr Blake said 'seemed to last forever'.
