A POLISH couple picking up their daughter, the 45-year-old mother of a budding child actress and a couple of teenage soulmates were among those killed by a suicide bomber at the Manchester, England, concert, officials said Wednesday.

Angelika and Marcin Klis (photo below left), who lived an hour away in York, were waiting for their daughter Monday as the Ariana Grande performanc­e at the Manchester Arena ended.

Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykow­ski confirmed the couple was among the dead, killed when suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated a homemade explosive filled with nuts and bolts at the entrance to the concert arena.

And Michelle Kiss, a mother of three, was killed after she attended the show with her actress daughter, Millie, according to social media posts.

Young couple Chloe Rutherford, 17, and 19-year-old Liam Curry (inset far left) “wanted to remain together forever and now they are,” their parents said in a statement.

Greater Manchester Police said forensic experts have identified all 22 victims in the attack, but it will take several days for all of their names to be announced.

Jane Tweddle-Taylor, 50, was also killed in the blast, the BBC reported. She had gone to the arena with a friend to pick up the friend’s daughter. Martyn Hett, 29, was another fatality, his brother Dan confirmed on social media.

Many of the slain were young concertgoe­rs.

Sorrell Leczkowski, 14, of Leeds, was named as a victim Wednesday as was Nell Jones, also 14. Others identified earlier were also in their teens, including Olivia Campbell, 15, and Georgina Callander, 18.

Saffie Rose Roussos, 8, is believed to be one of the youngest killed.
