Most people who were witness to a horrifying terrorist attack would be forgiven for never returning to the scene again.
But that attitude isn’t the way Max Trobe, 18, and his sister Martha, 10, approach things.
Six months after being in the crowd that witnessed a shocking terrorist attack at an Ariana Grande concert, Max and Martha faced their fears and returned to the Manchester Arena last night to see a gig by Little Mix.
And Max’s tweet from their seats has gone viral, with hundreds of well-wishers flooding in to commend the pair.
The siblings from Darwen, Lancashire, were among thousands affected by the terror attack in May that left 22 dead.
But returning to the scene of the horror, Max’s tweet read: “Tonight I brought my sister back to the Manchester Arena for the first time since the Ariana Grande concert, and thanks to Little Mix bad memories were replaced with great ones.”
Max told the BBC: “I wasn’t going to go, but then I thought: ‘I will not let the senseless actions of one individual ruin my enjoyment, why should I?
