Good. Lets hope they have them all and they haven't fled to Brussels or Germany or wherever they have been plotting this. The next thing we will hear is the election may be cancelled. Has campaigning recommenced does anyone know?

Campaigning is still suspended. Last I heard it would be either Friday or possibly Saturday before they recommence, but no confirmed date at the moment.

Just named a 50yrold school worker as well, I think her name is Wendy

Wendy Fawell? She has been prominent in my local news, she's from Otley near Leeds. Have amended the others.

So sad to hear about your son's mate. Too close to home. :cry:

 

[fairyland]

Yes Wendy Fawell.

All victims are now known and families informed, say police

The identities of all the victims of the Manchester attack are now known and their families have been informed, say police.

A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: "We are now confident that we know who all the people are, who have sadly lost their lives in the attack at the Manchester Arena.

"We have made contact with all of the families and our specially trained officers are supporting them."

GMP added that post mortem examinations were likely to take four to five days due to the number of victims. The force will be able to officially name the victims after that, it added.

Am I the only one irritated by the comments of Amber Rudd? Doesn't seem strong enough language and we are getting more info from US and French sources than we appear to be getting from our own ? What is going on?

 

[CoverMeCagney]

Yes Wendy Fawell.

She's bloody awful. But then again she's a conservative so I'm not sure what else I expected

I was assuming one of the 22 is the bomber, so that leaves 9?

BBC said 22 plus bomber yesterday, not sure if that's accurate though

Thanks - I'm always unsure of whether these figures in events like this include the perpetrator or not.

Megan Hurley.


The fundraising page to help Megan's family was set up by Helen McDermott, from Halewood, who said: “We’re raising £500 to help fund a beautiful send off for Megan who was taken far too early due to the awful attacks at Manchester Arena on 22/05/2017."


Earlier on Tuesday evening a service was held at St Nicholas’ Church in Halewood in memory of the Mnchester bombing victims.


Attending the service was the Chair of Governors of Halewood Primary and he said a young girl who went to the school was killed. He added that the girl’s brother was “seriously injured”.
