Several more people – mainly children and teenagers – are still missing.

And Bolton – promoted as League One runners-up this season – posted a message by club chaplain Phil Mason about Miss Callander, 18, who was one of the victims.

Horrific

It read: “Bolton Wanderers Football Club is shocked to hear that Georgina Callander has been the first victim named in the horrific attack at Manchester Arena.

“Georgina played in the club’s Under-11s ladies team in 2010 under the management of Jayne Jackson, who still works at Bolton Wanderers Community Trust.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with her friends and family during this awful time of loss.

“Georgina and all will be remembered at our Annual Memorial Service tonight.

“There will also be a minute’s silence before the first team ladies’ friendly against Wigan Athletic tomorrow evening at Macron Stadium, where the team will wear black armbands.”
