Smiling, singing and dancing along with Ariana Grande and his friends, this is much-loved Martyn Hett before he lost his life in the Manchester Arena bombing atrocity.
A video of Martyn filmed during the concert by one of his friends was shown at the public inquiry into the terror attack today, as the 29-year-old's life was remembered with smiles and laughter in the courtroom.
He's shown dancing with his hands in the air as Ariana's voice soars in the background.
Then, Martyn leans forward towards the camera and shouts with a huge smile on his face: "I'm a f****** mess."

The inquiry heard he enjoyed drinks with friends on the afternoon of the concert as they celebrated Martyn preparing to go on a 'trip of a lifetime' to America.
A witness, the inquiry was told, said he saw Martyn laughing and joking with Arena security staff in the City Room foyer area just before the detonation.
Martyn was also said to have been singing and dancing - and filming himself on his phone - in the moments preceding the explosion.
The atrocity on May 22, 2017, claimed 22 lives.
Giving evidence Stuart Aspinall, a close friend of Martyn's who was at the concert with him, said: "From the off, at the concert, Martyn was up and dancing.
"Soon, we were all following suit. We were just having a laugh.
"We loved the Ariana Grande songs. We loved the album that the concert was for. He was just in really high spirits.
"He was singing at the top of his voice, dancing about without a care in the world. It was just a great time to be together."
Martyn left his seat to get drinks with another of his friends at the concert, Paul Swaine.
Mr Swaine, giving evidence, said he doesn't believe Martyn sat down in his seat at the Arena all night.
"He got us all dancing," he said.
"He got parents and children behind us dancing. He kicked the concert off."
They went for drinks at around 10pm and Mr Swaine added: "He was talking about America - the adventure he was going to have.
"It was nice to spend that moment with him."
Martyn, the inquiry heard, stopped as they walked back to their seats to chat to two women.
Mr Swaine said Martyn told him he was 'chatting to his fans' and showing them the tattoo on his leg of Coronation Street character Deidre Barlow - Martyn was said to be a 'Corrie superfan'.
Mr Swaine said of the subsequent explosion: "Suddenly we just stopped. It was a sea of people.
"I knew that something wasn't right."
Mr Aspinall went on: "As we were leaving [the concert] the intention was to go into the village with Martyn. We were trying to get signal to give him a ring.
"We couldn't get through.
"We were walking towards the City Room to meet him to see if he was in the foyer. That's when the incident happened.
"The crowd were coming towards us so we had no choice but to follow the crowd in the opposite direction. We left the Arena, exited outside - never to see Martyn again."
Martyn, a PR manager from Stockport, was four metres away from bomber Salman Abedi and went on to be covered with a foil blanket.
A post-mortem examination concluded he died from 'multiple injuries' and experts said his injuries were 'unsurvivable', the inquiry was told.
Tributes were paid to Martyn ahead of today's evidence - he had a huge social media following, a 'tremendous passion for life' and a 'catching charisma'.
Inquiry chairman, Sir John Saunders, said: "What a capacity he had as an entertainer, bringing happiness to so many people.
"Martyn's step-father says he lived his life at 100mph. It could have been 200mph.
"He worked hard and played hard. I think Martyn's spirit is indestructible."
The family thanked 'everybody who put their safety secondary, went into the City Room, checked on and provided care for' Martyn.
The evidence being heard by the inquiry until October 12 contains information which may be distressing.
