Cork girl, 15, fled Manchester Arena amid chaos

The uncle of a 15-year-old Irish girl who survived the Manchester terror attack believes a guardian angel was watching over her.

Kiara McKelvey, who moved with her family from Tower in Co Cork to Manchester about two years ago, was inside the Manchester Arena when a suicide bomber detonated a device after the Ariana Grande concert.

Her uncle, Lloyd Creagh, who lives on the northside of Cork City, said Kiara had to scale railings and avoid a panicked stampede for the exits before she and a friend managed to escape the venue to safety.
