Rosemary Ward, 21, told the Manchester Evening News: “They were all running out of the house when a big bomb went off.
“That’s obviously what it was because the whole house was shaking. Everyone was panicking.

The controlled explosion and raids followed last night’s attack at the Manchester Arena which killed 22 and injured 59.
