Those who were at the blast site panicked at the horror and bloodbath that unfolded in front of them. Gary Walker a resident of Leeds, and his wife were just metres from the explosion, waiting for their daughters to come out, reported BBC.

He told BBC 5 live: "We heard the last song go and then suddenly there was a massive flash and then a bang and smoke. I felt a pain in my foot and my leg.

"I turned around to my wife who was standing at the side of me and she said, 'I need to lay down.' She's got a stomach wound and possible a broken leg.

"I've got a bit of a hole in my foot where I've got a bit of shrapnel. I was surprised I got away so lightly."

He said he saw metal nuts that could have come from the device, and that people were using tables as stretchers.
