Manchester terrorist attack victim Laura moved to Glasgow hospital

Manchester bombing victim Laura Macintyre has been transferred to a hospital in Glasgow as her recovery continues.

The 15-year-old is said to be making “good progress” having suffered serious hand and leg injuries in the blast, her parents said.

Laura, from Barra, was at the Ariana Grande concert with friend Eilidh Macleod.

The Castlebay Community School pupils were reported missing after they failed to get in touch with family following the explosion.

It was later confirmed Eilidh was among the dead while Laura was found in hospital.

Michael and Nan Macintyre said their daughter was now one step closer to home and they thanked people in Manchester for their help. In a statement, Laura’s parents said: “We’d like to take this opportunity to thank the people of Manchester and in particular all those who have done so much to help Laura and our family. The kindness and care started from the first moments after the bombing when a young travel safe officer held Laura’s hand and comforted her for an hour while she waited for treatment.”
