The lives of 'soul mates' Marcin and Angelika Klis, who lost their lives at Manchester Arena, were remembered at the public inquiry into the terror bombing today.
Commemorative hearings to pay tribute to all those killed were continuing on the inquiry's sixth day today.
Pen portraits from the families and friends of the deceased, and moving personal evidence about them, will be heard and shown to the inquiry.
The attack on May 22, 2017, after the Ariana Grande concert, claimed 22 lives and left hundreds more injured.
A 'selfie' photograph the couple took of themselves on the night of the bombing - outside the Corn Exchange in Manchester city centre - was shown at the inquiry.
They were in Manchester to collect their daughters Patrycia and Aleksandra.
They provided a statement in tribute to their mum and dad, which was read out on their behalf.
Their daughters described them as 'so in love - as if they were teenagers without a care in the world'.
Marcin and Angelika, their daughters said, were 'soul mates'.
The couple, who lived in York, grew up in Poland, the inquiry was told.
They met in the early 1990s and 'fell in love', their daughters said.
Marcin moved to England in 2004 - working as a courier, then at Tesco and finally as a taxi driver.
He had a love of photography, travel and rock music.
Angelika was a customer services assistant at Tesco.
"She loved to watch films and her favourite thing was sunbathing," her daughters said in the statement.
"She would be out in the garden trying to get a tan, even though it was only slightly sunny.
"She was our best friend.
"We would go shopping together and for massages."
Their daughters said the couple 'enjoyed every moment together' - and referenced recent holidays to Rome and Egypt.
"Mum and dad's love was incredibly strong - something we should all aspire for in life.
"They were so in love - as if they were teenagers without a care in the world.
"They were happy. They were soul mates.
"They didn't want to be without each other.
"Mum and dad were amazing parents, great friends and kind people.
"They did everything in their power to ensure we had everything we wanted and more.
"They would always put our needs before their own.
"Losing our mum and dad and the pain and the loss we feel is so hard to explain.
"Our lives have changed - and it's just the two of us.
"We are completely devastated by what has happened.
"Our lives have been turned upside down.
"I do not know how else to describe it.
"We think of our parents all the time. They are never out of our thoughts."
Patrycia and Aleksandra said in the statement they have had to grow up quickly because of the tragic loss - and deal with things they never thought they would have to deal with.
They said: "We haven't just lost our parents.
"But we have lost our best friends and protectors."
Suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated a rucksack bomb in the City Room area of the Arena after the concert.
Hashem Abedi, his brother, is currently serving a 55-year minimum sentence after being convicted over the atrocity.
The public inquiry - set to run until next spring - is examining all aspects of the bombing.
