A Polish couple who had arrived at Manchester Arena to pick up their children have been confirmed as dead.

Angelika and Marcin Klis took a selfie together in the city centre shortly before going to the concert to pick their daughters up.



Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski said on Wednesday: "The parents came after the concert to collect their daughters and unfortunately we have information that they are dead.

"The children are safe."

A spokesman for the country's foreign ministry said "at least two people have died and one person has been injured" but could not confirm any further details.

Yesterday York College student Alex Klis said she was looking for her parents Angelika and Marcin, who had been missing since the attack.

In a post shared widely on Facebook she wrote: "Anyone who is in any safe place or hospital in Manchester, if anyone comes across my parents please please let me know as they've been missing ever since the attack."

Her post was shared 11,000 times.

In a desperate plea to track down her parents, who lived and worked in York, Alex described exactly what her father Marcin, 42, and Angelika, 40, we wearing.

But today the teenager was flooded with messages of condolence after losing both parents to the sickening suicide attack.

Rachel Penn said: "Alex and your family I so sorry for your devastating loss. My heart goes out to you I can't image how you must be feeling. Stay strong as you can."

Maxine Wingell said: "I am so deeply deeply sorry. There are not words."

Marcin was believed to be from Poland originally but worked as a cabbie at York Cars Taxi Service, a cab company in York.
