A survivor of the Manchester Arena bombing said today that bravery awards given to emergency workers were an 'insult to our injury', as he revealed how his teenager daughter was presumed dead and covered over with T-shirts and posters in the aftermath before going on to make a 'miracle' recovery. Martin Hibbert, 44, fell to the ground with his daughter, Eve, then 14, as Salman Abedi detonated his suicide bomb around 15ft (5m) away in the City Room foyer at the end of an Ariana Grande concert in May 2017. Mr Hibbert (left, today; and right, with Eve before the concert), from Chorley, Lancashire, suffered 22 shrapnel wounds including one which hit the centre of his back and totally severed his spinal cord, the public inquiry into the terror attack heard. He said where he was standing had meant he shielded Eve from the blast but one bolt got past him and struck her which caused a 'very significant' brain injury, 'almost like she had been shot through the head'. Mr Hibbert also said it was adding 'insult to our injury' for the families of the deceased and survivors that medals had been given to 'certain professionals where the evidence shows their professional and moral duty was not acted upon appropriately'.
