An 18-year-old student has been named as the first confirmed victim of the terror attack at Manchester Arena as she is one of 22 people killed by the blast when she left the concert by Ariana Grande.

 
An 18-year-old girl, described by her friends as "a living angel", has been named as the first confirmed victim of the terror attack at Manchester Arena, the UK Independent reports.
 
Georgina Bethany Callander, from Whittle-le-Woods in Lancashire, England, was one of 22 people killed by the blast as she left the Ariana Grande concert at the 21,000-capacity venue.
 
She was a student at Runshaw College in nearby Leyland, and was on the cusp of finishing the second year of her health and social care course.
 
The college expressed its "enormous sadness" at the news of her death and said it would be offering counselling to students.
 
 
On Saturday, Georgina tweeted that she was "so excited" to see the pop star, who she was previously pictured with two years ago at a concert.
 
The teenager's friends paid tribute to her, describing her as a "beautiful girl with the kindest heart and soul", someone who "lit up the room" and "a ray of sunshine".
 
She was rushed to hospital and died with her mother at her bedside, according to the the Evening Standard.
 
Sophie Jauregui, who said she was Georgina's best friend, tweeted: "I hope you rest in peace my darling. I love you so much and will always miss you."
 
 
Another friend posted: "Rest in peace Gina. I love you so incredibly much, you deserved the world & more. I’m so lucky to have met you and known you."

"She was a living angel, the sweetest person that you ever did meet," Liana Sarfati wrote on Twitter.
 
A crowdfunding page was set up to help the Callander family with funeral and memorial costs shortly after her death was announced, and raised over £1,000 in less than an hour.
