Devastated Mother’s Heartbreaking Tribute to Olivia
Olivia’s mum, Charlotte Campbell, shared the gut-wrenching news on Facebook early today. She called Olivia her “darling precious gorgeous girl,” saying: “Go sing with the angels and keep smiling, mummy loves you so much.”
Before the devastating confirmation, Charlotte told the BBC about her desperate search for Olivia. She said:
“I’m at home phoning everybody: hospitals, police, the centres where children were taken. Her dad’s in Manchester looking for her. Friends are out there searching too. Even strangers are messaging, saying they have photos and will help find her. But I hear nothing. Her phone’s dead. They’ve told me to stay put and wait for a call. I don’t dare leave the house just in case she comes home.”
Remembering the Victims: Lives Cut Short
Martyn Hett’s family described him as the “life and soul” of any gathering. The city mourns a community shattered by this act of terror.
As grief grips the nation, social media campaigns surged to find missing loved ones after the blast. But for Olivia’s family and others, the worst has become reality.
Rest in peace, Olivia. Such a tragic waste of a young life.
