It is four years since The Manchester Arena bombing. Annette McNeil had taken her two young daughters Caitlin and Erin, then aged 14 and 11, to see the Ariana Grande concert that night. Although they were fortunate to escape physical injury - they were still in the hall when the suicide bomber detonated his home made device, the aftermath of the attack was to bring many challenges.

Today Annette says she is proud of how far her girls have come. She said: The anniversary on Saturday (May 22) was hard. I think it will always be hard. There are certainly things you see and hear that do still bring it back. But I think we are in a really good place. I do think one of the big things we learned is you just have to embrace life and follow your dreams and what you love . it s about seizing the day and seizing opportunities.
