A FATHER who suffered life-changing injuries and a mother who lost her daughter in the Manchester terror attack were featured in a documentary to mark 100 days since the atrocity.

Martin Hibbert was one of those featured in this evening’s Manchester: 100 Days After the Attack. 

His injuries have left him paralysed and he is due, after months of treatment, to move back to Bolton, his hometown in the coming days.

Mr Hibbert has bought VIP tickets to the Ariana Grande concert as a Christmas present for his daughter.

He said: “When I found out I’d be paralysed for the rest of my life, I didn’t cry. I wasn’t angry. My daughter was alive. I was alive. It was a case of ‘we’ve got that out of the way – what’s next.”

Mr Hibbert’s daughter was also seriously injured in the attack and is still in hospital.

Mr Hibbert described seeing smoke and hearing people scream as the bomb detonated.

He said: "I remember looking over to my daughter and could see thatshe wasn't in a  good way she has been hit in the head, she was breathing and it was a good sign.

"I saw a lot of blood coming from my left arm and quite a lot of blood coming from my neck, to the point where  it was kind of gathering in a pool. I think I knew at the point I was dying because I started to shiver."

His daughter is still recovering in hospital.

Mr Hibbert said: ”She is going to be in hospital for a few more months, she is awake now, she can see and can hear, it is going to be small steps, but she is in the best place.”

Mr Hibbert concludes: “He can take my legs but it's  not going to stop me doing anything, in fact i will probably work harder. I love being a dad, I love being a husband and nobody  is going take that way from me, let alone a terrorist.”

The family of Olivia Campbell-Hardy, from Bury, who died in the attack, speak about their heartbreak and how her memory continues to inspire her friend, Adam Lawler, who was at the concert with her. He sustained serious injuries and recalls being sick and feeling of ‘blackness’ when he found his best friend had died.

Olivia’s mum, Charlotte Campbell, who recalls her daughter giving her a hug and kiss before going to the concert, said: “I gave birth to that little girl, I brought her up for 15 years and she has been taken in the worst possible way.”

Adam, aged 15, said: “I want to live for Olivia, she was gone to soon and "I want to give back what has been taken.”
