The Queen has visited Manchester to meet staff, victims and families of those involved in this week's attack in the city.
At Royal Manchester Children's Hospital Her Majesty met
nursing staff, paediatric doctors and surgeons and thanked them for
their work over the last few days.
During the visit, The Queen spoke to a number of the
victims and their families, including Millie Robson, aged 15, from
County Durham, Evie Mills, aged 14, from Harrogate, and 12 year old Amy
Barlow, from Rawtenstall.
Earlier this week, The Queen sent a message following the attack on Monday evening.
"The whole nation has been shocked by the death and injury
in Manchester last night of so many people, adults and children, who had
just been enjoying a concert," she said.
I know I speak for everyone in expressing my deepest
sympathy to all who have been affected by this dreadful event and
especially to the families and friends of those who have died or were
injured.
I want to thank all the members of the emergency services, who have responded with such professionalism and care.
And I would like to express my admiration for the way the
people of Manchester have responded, with humanity and compassion, to
this act of barbarity.
