The only paramedic on scene in the first 40 minutes after the Manchester Arena bombing has told an inquiry he was not prepared for such a large-scale and awful incident .
Patrick Ennis arrived at the arena ten minutes after the blast, which killed 22 people and injured hundreds more.
He told the Manchester Arena Inquiry that until I saw it. I hadn t realised just the scale .
Had he followed procedure, he would not have gone into the City Room, he said.
The inquiry heard the North West Ambulance Service paramedic had reported a major incident standby after being told by members of the public that a nail bomb had gone off, and had asked for four ambulances.
