Suicide bomber Salman Abedi was caught on CCTV heading towards the Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena
He wore glasses, a baseball cap and jeans plus a Hollister puffa jacket with his left hand holding the detonator for the bomb in his Karrimor rucksack.
Minutes later 22 people lay dead after a devastating blast, which followed Monday nights gig by US singer Ariana Grande. Another 120 were injured.
Abedi, 22, was captured on video as he travelled in a lift to the arena from the citys adjoining Victoria Station.
The monster, who claimed benefits and got student loans to fund his suicide bomb, appeared relaxed as he travelled up a single level from the ground floor appearing to lean on the lift wall.
Sporting a wispy beard and wearing specs and his rare Nike Air Jordan trainers, he concealed the detonator in the left pocket of his padded jacket.
After leaving the lift, Abedi turned left and walked 65 yards across a raised concourse to the arenas City Room entrance before walking into the foyer.
