Manchester terror bomb victim John Atkinson pictured as devastated friends and family pay tribute to 26-year-old
A MAN who was killed in the horrific terror attack that saw concert-goers targeted in Manchester last night has been remembered as an "amazing" individual.
John Atkinson, 26, has been named as one of the 22 killed when a bomb ripped through crowds leaving the Ariana Grande concert last night.
He is one of the first to be named in the wake of the attack, with teen victim Georgina Callander having also been pictured in the hours after the deadly explosion.
Tributes to young John have flooded in as authorities vow to find answers - even revealing they believe they already know who was behind the attack that saw more than 50 injured.
One friend wrote: "Truly devastated for them all. What an amazing lovely man he was and blessed to have known him.xxx"

Families and friends of other concert-goers have been left to desperately appeal for information about their loved ones, with an eight-year-old named as the youngest fan still missing.
Devastated mum Charlotte Campbell broke down in tears on Good Morning Britain as she searches for her missing 15-year-old daughter Olivia, who was at the gig last night.
Charlotte revealed she phoned her daughter, who went to the concert with her best friend, at 8.30pm yesterday, but has not heard from her since.
She said: “All I know is she was at the Manchester Arena with her friend watching Ariana Grande and she’s not turned up yet.
“I can’t get through to her. I’ve called the hospitals, I’ve called all the places, the hotels where people say that children have been taken."
