The report found “significant aspects” of the emergency response went wrong - and made 149 recommendations

On Thursday, Manchester Arena Inquiry chairman Sir John Saunders delivered his scathing report on the response of the emergency services. It identified how “significant aspects” of the emergency response went wrong and made 149 recommendations.

"Sadly GMPs failings were significant. We failed to plan effectively and the execution of that which was planned was simply not good enough. Our actions were substantially inadequate and fell short of what the public have every right to expect, and for this, I apologise unreservedly." He said:"Our response that night was wholly inadequate and totally ineffective and that will forever be a matter of deep regret for our service. We let families and the public down in their hour of need and for that I am truly sorry.”- The initial command of the incident was taken by Greater Manchester Police's force duty officer, Inspector Dale Sexton, who quickly became overwhelmed by the number of tasks in hand.
