The great uncle of Eilidh MacLeod, one of the victims of the Manchester attack, has said she was "a lovely young person" and a "very valued member of the community".

Donald Manford, who is also a Barra councillor, described to Martha Kearney how Eilidh was "a very accomplished piper" and had a keen interest in music.

The 14-year-old from Barra in the Outer Hebrides was at the concert with her friend Laura MacIntyre who is seriously ill in hospital.

Mr Manford said: "We wish Laura every support we can give her speedy recovery."
