BURY, United Kingdom (Reuters) – The mother of a Manchester bombing victim asked for unity on Wednesday (May 24).

Charlotte Campbell, who was visibly emotional, urged people to “stay together” after giving thanks for the support she received following Monday’s (May 22) suicide attack which killed 22 concert-goers, including her 15-year-old daughter Olivia.

In a last conversation, Campbell had been thanked by Olivia for allowing her daughter to go to the Ariana Grande concert.

The family spent most of Tuesday (May 23) frantically searching for her and her mother confirmed on Wednesday that she had been found dead.
