The first funeral for one of the 22 victims of the Manchester Arena terror bombing will be held on Monday.

Eilidh MacLeod, who was 14, attended the Ariana Grande concert when she killed in the bombing almost two weeks ago.

Her friend Laura MacIntyre, 15, was badly injured in the bombing and remains in hospital.

Eilidh's parents, Roddy and Marion MacLeod, paid tribute to her ahead of the funeral in the Outer Hebrides, issuing this media statement:

"Two weeks ago today we lost our darling daughter and sister, Eilidh MacLeod, in one of the cruellest ways possible.

"Today, as we take Eilidh on her final journey, our one hope is that her funeral is a real celebration of her life and the wonderful person she was.

"Eilidh's infectious personality touched everyone she met and it has been a privilege and an honour to have her as our daughter.

"We will always remember her as a truly beautiful girl inside and out, eternally young, loved by all and forever in our hearts."
