The father of the youngest Manchester bombing victim has slammed the Government for not doing more to support victims of terror attacks.

Saffie Roussos, aged eight, from Leyland, Lancashire, had attended the Ariana Grande concert on May 22, 2017, with her mother Lisa, 48, and her sister Ashlee Bromwich, 24.

She was one of 22 people killed when suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated his device. Her mother and sister both suffered serious injuries.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain today, her father, Andrew, 44, hit out at the Government's response to helping the victims of terror attacks.

He told the ITV show: 'There’s no support from the Government for victims of terrorism - nothing. Apart from seeking claim for your injuries.

'There wasn't even an acknowledgment from the Government until a few months later.

'If it wasn't for the One Love concert - the world coming together - where would we be.

'There was no financial support. If there was no One Love concert we wouldn’t have had anything. We had to be off work. Lisa was in hospital for four months.

'The concert and the Manchester fund (support us). The world came together because they felt our pain. Is this a time for us to fend for ourselves?

'I feel let down. How can you not support us under these circumstances? It’s so life changing and we shouldn’t be thinking about finances.'

After the attack Saffie's mother Lisa awoke from a coma to be told of her daughter's death.

Mr Roussos, father to Saffie and son Xander, 12, said the outpouring of love from the community kept his family going after the devastating loss - but that they felt that remaining in their old home brought back too many painful memories.

In the weeks that followed Abedi's suicide attack the family's chip shop business became a sea of floral tributes to the little girl.

However the family has since moved away from their home and chip shop The Plaice on Hough Lane, in Leyland, Lancashire, where Saffie played a 'massive part'.

He now plans to hold a pop concert to help the victims of the Manchester attack and keep Saffie's memory alive.

He said: 'Music is something that unites the world. It’s the only power that we’ve got as humans that sends different emotions. On the night they went to a music concert.

'I want to celebrate Saffie's life and the 22 - to keep the memory alive. I wanted to put a concert for the world to stop and listen - the world leaders to stop and listen - to tell them enough's enough.

'We've got the 19th August at the Old Trafford cricket club. The world's top artists - I want the top artists.

Paying tribute to his daughter Mr Roussos said: 'Saffie was the sort of person who just stopped people in their tracks. She was a beautiful and stunning young lady and not a day went by when we weren't stopped by people complimenting her'

'The cricket ground have confirmed it. The council and mayor are in support. I want to set up a charity in memory of the 22.

'For me, two-minute silence at a church service every year for an eight-year-old girl - I want to celebrate her life. I want to keep it going.

'I'm a father - I lost an eight-year-old child. What do I want for my life? I will never accept what's happened. I will never move on. How can I?

'Life from now on is to support each other and make sure the family go through life so they can stand on their two feet.

'I want to keep the memory of Saffie alive and do some good from what's happened.'
