Teenager Olivia Campbell has been named as one of the victims of Monday's suicide attack in Manchester.

The 15-year-old's mother Charlotte paid tribute to her daughter on Facebook.

"RIP my darling precious gorgeous girl Olivia Campbell taken far far too soon - go sing with the angels and keep smiling mummy loves you so much."

Mothers Alison Howe and Lisa Lees were both killed as they waited for their children to come out of the concert.

Mrs Howe's step-son Jordan said on Facebook: "They took a caring beautiful mum and step mother away from us all she was amazing to us all x love you loads Alison Howe xx".

Lisa Lees's brother Lee Hunter said: "For those who don't know Lisa is gone but never ever forgotten I love you Lisa I'll miss you so much".

Kelly Brewster, who was also killed in the attack, was at the concert with her sister.

Her partner said on Facebook: "Kelly really was the happiest she has ever been and we had so many things planned together. My daughter Phoebe will be absolutely devastated like we all are. Love you loads."

Saffie Rose Roussos, aged eight, was also named as one of the victims in the terror attack.

The Ariana Grande fan has been described as "simply a beautiful little girl who was loved by everyone".

She was a pupil at Tarleton Community Primary School, and had been attending the concert with her mother and her older sister.

Her headteacher, Chris Upton, said her death had come as a "tremendous shock" and he described Saffie as "simply a beautiful little girl".

He added: "The thought that anyone could go out to a concert and not come home is heartbreaking.

"She was loved by everyone and her warmth and kindness will be remembered fondly. Saffie was quiet and unassuming with a creative flair."
