A woman has told how she and her best friend were knocked off their feet when they passed the Manchester Arena bomber as he detonated his device.
Millie Tomlinson, who was 17 at the time, was at the Ariana Grande concert with her friend on 22 May 2017.
She told the inquiry into the attack that she felt "a warm gush of air" and her body being "thrown around".
A mother also told the hearing she had seen the bomber "walking with purpose" across the foyer.
Ms Tomlinson, from Wigan, was linking arms with her friend Lucy Jarvis as they left the concert.
