The youngest victim of the Manchester Arena terror attack asked paramedics 'am I going to die?' after she enjoyed the 'night of her life' at the Ariana Grande concert, a public inquiry has heard
Saffie-Rose, eight, suffered massive blood loss from shrapnel wounds to her legs caused by the explosion in the City Room foyer of the venue.
Her father, Andrew Roussos, said his daughter was on 'cloud nine' before she left their family home in Leyland, Lancashire, for the performance.
She was the youngest of 22 people killed in an horrific terror attack carried out by Salman Abedi after an Ariana Grande concert in May 2017.

The schoolgirl had travelled to the concert with her mother Lisa and sister Ashlee Bromwich, who were also both also injured in the blast, before Abedi detonated a bomb inside the venue's foyer.
The youngster had earlier enjoyed 'the night of her life' singing and dancing, the inquiry was told, as she watched her idol perform.
Member of the public Paul Reid initially tended to and reassured her as she asked for her mother and also what had happened.
He went on to stay by her side for more than 30 minutes before she was eventually placed into an ambulance outside the adjoining Victoria railway station.
An off-duty nurse, Bethany Crook, also joined them as Saffie-Rose started to slip in and out of consciousness before they, with a number of British Transport Police officers, carried her out of the City Room on an advertising board.
Ms Crook stated she was 'surprised' to find no ambulance or additional medical staff waiting when they arrived outside at the Trinity Way exit of the station, the inquiry was told.
