A further 64 people were injured - many with life-changing injuries - after Monday night's Ariana Grande concert. Some remain in critical conditions.

Here is what we know about those who lost their lives.

Saffie Rose Roussos

At just eight years old "beautiful little girl" Saffie Rose Roussos was the youngest victim of the attack.

Her mother Lisa Roussos and sister Ashlee Bromwich, who were also at the concert, are being treated for their injuries in separate hospitals, friends said.

Chris Upton, headteacher Tarleton Community Primary School in Preston, said: "The thought that anyone could go out to a concert and not come home is heartbreaking.

"Saffie was simply a beautiful little girl in every aspect of the word.

"She was loved by everyone and her warmth and kindness will be remembered fondly. Saffie was quiet and unassuming with a creative flair."

Ms Hutchinson said of her daughter, who was at the Leeds Beckett University: "My stunning amazing beautiful daughter you were my rock, you made me so proud with all you had achieved.

"And my gorgeous crazy Philip, you made my world a happy place and now you are both my angels flying high in the sky."

Courtney's dad added: "I am going to miss my baby girl Courtney Boyle for the rest of my life.

"I will never forget you and I will love you forever. Grandad Bob misses you loads also."

Courtney's sister called her a "wonder of a sister who is now a shining yellow star in the sky," calling Philip her "Costa buddy" who was "always there no matter what to keep me safe and make me happy."

Adam said: "Me and my family are truly devastated by the news. Mum was a wonderful woman. So kind and generous and touched the lives of so many.

The teenage sweethearts from South Shields were "perfect in every way for each other" and "wanted to be together forever", their families said in a joint tribute.

Friends and relatives of Chloe, 17, and Liam, 19, had issued desperate appeals for information after failing to make contact with them following the attack.

Liam, a former pupil of Gateshead College, was studying for a degree in sport and exercise science at Northumbria University. His father Andrew died in March aged 49.

Liam had raised money for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, which funds cancer research, since he was 14, a spokeswoman for the charity said. He continued to fundraise after his father's diagnosis and undertook a 260-mile sponsored cycle ride from Calais to Paris and a Great North Run.

In a joint statement released through Greater Manchester Police, their relatives said they were inseparable, saying: "On the night our daughter Chloe died and our son Liam died, their wings were ready but our hearts were not.

"They were perfect in every way for each other and were meant to be. They were beautiful inside and out to ourselves and our families, and they were inseparable."

Chloe was studying music at college and was about to start an apprenticeship in travel, her boss said.

Graeme Brett, owner of Westoe Travel in South Shields where she worked part-time, said: "She was a lovely, bubbly girl ... She always had a smile on her face from the moment she walked in the door to the moment she went home."

Eilidh and Laura were pupils at Castlebay Community School and their head teacher said the incident has left everyone in shock.

Annag Maclean said: "Our school and island community are in shock, feeling numb and struggling to come to terms with it. Our thoughts and prayers are with Eilidh and Laura, their family and friends as they struggle to cope."

"Life will never be the same again," he added.

"My heart has been ripped apart. Lisa you really were such an amazing woman, the perfect mum to India and Lauran, and the coolest nanna to Jayden. You brought joy and happiness wherever you were and whoever you were with. You achieved so much in your career as a beauty therapist. We are all so proud of what you achieved, Lisa you really were such an amazing woman.

"Little did I know that when I spent the day with you on Sunday 14 May it would be the last time I got to hold you as your life was cut short before your time, through a cowardly act of murder," she said.

"You were a wonderful daughter, wife and mother and sister. You were an inspiration to all and should have had a great life ahead of you. Instead at the age of 43 your time on earth ended, you are now an angel in God’s garden.

"Don’t know how we will go on without you but I know you would want us too, my Darling Daughter I love you now and forever."
