Sister of youngest Manchester Arena bomb victim names new baby after her
THE sister of the youngest Manchester Arena bomb victim has named her new baby after her.
Ashlee Bromwich, 29, called her daughter Ever-Rose in tribute to eight-year-old Saffie-Rose, who died in the 2017 blast.
Ashlee and their mum Lisa Roussos, 50, were also injured in the attack.
The new arrival was announced by the family online, along with a picture of mum and baby.
The caption read: “Saffie-Rose Sister Ashlee was badly injured in the Manchester Arena attack … November 14th 2020, Ashlee gave birth to Ever-Rose.”
In all, 22 victims died when a suicide bomber detonated explosives in a backpack after a concert.
At Saffie-Rose’s funeral in July 2017, Ashlee promised: “Everything I do from this day forward will be all for you. Saffie Rose, I love you.”
Ashlee said: “She was so, so loving and likeable. Being an aunty would have meant the world to her.
“I don’t know if I am having a boy or a girl, but if it is a girl, I am giving her the middle name Rose.
“Either way, the baby will be constantly told about his or her lovely aunty Saffie-Rose who was killed by a cowardly monster with no regard for life.
“This baby will still have her as an aunty – even if she can’t physically be here.”
