Manchester Arena bomb victim Eilidh MacLeod has been remembered on what would have been her 18th birthday.

On Monday, the Eilidh MacLeod Memorial Trust said: “Happy heavenly 18th birthday, Eilidh.

“Turning 18 is a ­landmark day in every young person’s life.

“We can only imagine the fun she and her friends would’ve had marking this special day.”

The trust has been trying to help young musicians during the pandemic by enabling teaching.
