Manchester attack: Man describes how he held dying 8 year old girl in his arms as she called out for her mum

This is a very heartbreaking story of a little 8 year old girl, Saffie Rose Roussos, who attended the Ariana Grande concert with her mum and her 20 something year old sister but got separated from them after the bomb blast, at the Manchester Arena on Monday. This little girl was struck by the explosion and all she wanted while she laid down dying, was her mummy.
A first responder, Paul Reid who ran towards the sounds of explosions at Manchester Arena told how he cradled dying Saffie Rose Roussos in his arms. Paul, 43, ran back into the venue after he heard the bomb go off and was met with the horrific sight of bodies strewn across the foyer after suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated his rucksack IED. Which was how he found the little girl.

He told The Sun how he wrapped Saffie in his coat and helped her onto a makeshift stretcher. He said:

"She was a dying little girl and she just wanted her mum. It was devastating."

Reid who was distraught tried to comfort and reassure the fatally injured eight-year-old as she cried out for her mum following the blast.
