Concert of horror: 22 murdered and 22 harrowing sketches by artist Elton

Twenty-two men, women and children died in the suicide bombing at the Ariana Grande concert in the Manchester Arena on May 2017.

Bomber Salman Abedi’s device ripped through the lives of hundreds more.

The inquiry into the terror attack says that all these people – and their families and friends – were “failed on every level” by security organisations including the police.

Salman Abedi should have been identified as a threat by security, the inquiry chairman said.

Sir John Saunders found there were missed opportunities to avert or minimise the “devastating impact”.

Manchester ‘Biro’ artist Elton Darlo spent 18 days sketching a startling eye-witness account of the grief and tributes around the scene of the terror attack.

Elton said: “I was in Manchester as normal and when it all happened I just did what I felt I had to do – capture this awful tragedy and the outpourings of grief in my sketches.”
