Further submissions on security at Manchester Arena were being made by barristers representing families today at the public inquiry into the 2017 bombing atrocity.
Chapter seven of the inquiry involved evidence about the Arena itself and the security arrangements in place at the time of the attack.
The evidence was heard between October and December last year.
John Cooper QC, for the families of John Atkinson, Kelly Brewster, Georgina Callander, Wendy Fawell, Megan Hurley, Nell Jones, Martyn Hett, Lisa Lees, Angelica Kliss, Marcin Kliss, Eilidh MacLeod and Elaine McIver, is due to complete his closing statement on chapter seven evidence this morning.
Firefighters did not arrive at Manchester Arena until two hours after the suicide bombing, only one paramedic entered the blast scene in the first 40 minutes, and Greater Manchester Police (GMP) did not declare a major incident until the following day, the inquiry into the terror attack has heard.
The inquiry, which began last September, moved on Monday to examining Chapter 10, the emergency response to the attack, based at Victoria Station in central Manchester.
Suicide bomber Salman Abedi, 22, exploded his rucksack bomb at 10.31pm on May 22 2017, in the City Room or foyer of the Arena, killing 22 bystanders and injuring hundreds more among the 14,000 crowd leaving an Ariana Grande show.
