Tragic Teen Fan Among First Dead in Manchester Arena Attack
Georgina Callander, a 16-year-old schoolgirl and die-hard Ariana Grande fan, has been named as one of the first victims of the horrific Manchester Arena suicide bombing. Known to friends as Gina, the young teen died in hospital with her mum by her side after the terror attack claimed 22 lives.

Her loss has left the local community reeling, as tributes pour in for a beautiful young life cut tragically short.
