Harrowing 999 call following Manchester Arena bombing

Ronald Blake, who had gone to collect his daughter from the Ariana Grande concert, says with urgency 'many' were injured.

Mr Blake, the inquiry was told, remained with victim John Atkinson, a stranger to him, for just short of an hour until paramedics took over.
