i spoke to a police officer and ijust said, "i'm looking for my wife and my daughter." theyjust said, "have a look around", and basically that's what we did. we just went from person on the floor to person on the floor to person on the floor. i kept thinking, "help's going to come soon, just wait, "help's going to come soon." it felt like a long time before somebody finally came over to me and asked me my name. and all i could say was "saffie", ijust said saffie. cos i wanted them to find her. lisa was taken to hospital with life threatening injuries. andrew finally tracked her down at 06:30 the next morning. so, i went to icu, i took

ijust remember hitting the floor. really, like... ..with a really heavy bang. at 22:31, as the audience was leaving, 22—year—old salman abedi detonated his home—made bomb. saffie and lisa were just five metres away. ijust heard people and children running and screaming, hundreds of people hysterical. i saw these three women and they were crying and ijust said, "what's going on?" theyjust said, "we think a bomb has gone off." i sort of put my arm around xander and i knew that this is, this is serious. you never think in your lifetime you're going to be involved in something like this, you just, it's a surreal moment to be in.

i know it's going to be emotionally draining but just keep saying, "it's for saffie," obviously, and i've got to do it. hi, pete, nicola. how are you? very well. nice to see you both. nice to see you too. after you give your evidence then we go straight to start the evidence of the people that were there who tried to help. stating the obvious, this is very difficult territory for you, i'm very aware of that. evidence disclosed to the roussos' legal team raised questions about whether saffie could have survived the bombing. at the very start the family'sl understanding was that saffie had died straight away.

a look at lisa and ijust walked behind the bed and just broke down. they went through the possibilities of amputation of her hand, her leg, being paralysed from the neck down, and basically 20% chance of survival. lisa was put into a coma. andrew still didn't know where saffie was. this is becoming a nightmare, and it's unfolding to be real. one of the nurses that was with us said, "this is a detective." i said, "i need to know where my daughter is." i said it's 8am. i think he returned at 1230. and he says, "i've asked for a room." he says, "can you make your way to the room?" and... ..that walk to that room is something no human being should take.

to the arena was flagged down. saffie's main injuries - were to her legs, particularly the backs of her knees. and there was obviously a lot of bleeding from those - injuries. unfortunately, - that wasn't noticed. or, wasn't corrected. and if that bleeding i is allowed to continue, eventually you run out| of blood, and the body will shut down. the people around saffie, l many of them did their best in appalling circumstances. but the basic medical techniques that could and should have been used weren't. -

but saffie lived for- an extended period after she sustained these terrible injuries. - over an hour. and during that time _ she was conscious, she was able to talk, she was able to ask questions. - after the bomb exploded there were fears of a second attack. because of the breakdown in communication between the emergency services, arena workers and members of the public were left to help the injured inside the foyer. paul reid was selling posters that night. it was smokey, and there was people running about screaming, you know. and ijust stood there for probably a minute.

and for being with her. i also want to say to the professionals, like the emergency services and mi5, that this inquiry isn't about protecting your job, your reputation or your uniform. we understand the sheer panic and fear you were faced with that night, but until you admit the failings, how can there be a positive change? during the inquiry north west ambulance service said lessons have been learned, but believe there were "no inadequacies" in their response which contributed to saffie's death. greater manchester police and fire services accepted failings in their overall response on the night. counterterrorism police and m15 have both told the inquiry they are sorry the attack wasn't stopped. the inquiry�*s conclusions are expected to be published later this year.

cheering saffie. i knew the concert was finishing just before 22:30. i made them all a sandwich just in case they were hungry. drove up to manchester. i parked up there, waited for them. think it was about 28 minutes past ten. started going up the steps on to the concourse. and i'd got saffie's hand with my left hand, but she was pulling me. she just wanted to get out, to see her dad and xander and obviously tell them what an amazing evening she'd had. so, she was pulling me. and then the next minute,

breakdown in communication. failure to establish effective inter—service communications was unacceptable and we apologise for this unreservedly. only three paramedics made it in to the blast zone, and it was two hours before the fire service arrived — after the last casualty had been taken out. the inquiry is due to begin hearing evidence about saffie, so the roussos family are returning to manchester. got your stuff packed, xander, that you want to take? chargers, phones. dreading it. really don't want to go. it's giving me sleepless nights, it's made me anxious. it's a horrible, nervy feeling. going to court will be the hardest. going through my statement.
