Today, he spoke to Good Morning Britain’s Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard telling them that “enough is enough” and more must be done to combat terrorism.
Speaking of the moment he feared his wife had lost her life, he commented: “My daughter Darcey rang me within five minutes and said mum wasn’t answering her phone. I immediately knew something was wrong.
“I rang a friend of mine who works in security at the arena and he told me where it [the bomb] had gone off and I knew where my wife was going to be stood… because she didn’t answer her phone, we hoped she was unconscious.”
He went on to add that he “can’t put into words” how he and his daughters feel following the news that Alison had been killed.
