(BBC) Over the past year, the public inquiry into the Manchester Arena bombing has heard heart-breaking accounts from the victims’ families and those who survived, while uncovering security failings and missed opportunities.
It has also highlighted the heroic efforts of the people who were at the scene while sharing the anger and frustration of those who believe more should have been done to help the victims.
The inquiry started in September 2020, more than three years after Salman Abedi set off a homemade bomb at the end of an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May 2017, killing himself and 22 others, and injuring hundreds more.
It was due to start in June 2020, but was delayed by the trial of Abedi’s brother Hashem, who was jailed for at least 55 years for 22 murders in August.
