"SHAME on you all." Those were the stark words of one heartbroken mother as the third and final report into the Manchester Arena Bombing tragedy was released.

The families of three Manchester Arena bombing victims slammed the institutions and organisations cited in the inquiry into the atrocity which led to the deaths of 22 people on May 22, 2017. There was 'a significant missed opportunity to take action' on the part of MI5, the chairman found.

Caroline Curry lost her son Liam Curry, 19, who was with his partner Chloe Rutherford, 17. She spoke outside court stood alongside Chloe's parents, Lisa and Mark Rutherford.

"All we as families have asked for from day one is the truth, acknowledgment of failures, and a determination to make sure that failures are fixed so that next time, because there will be a next time, but hopefully next time there won't be as many families going through the utter heartbreak we have had to endure for the last five years, nine months, one week, and one day," she said as she broke down in tears.
