Yoni Finlay, one of the men injured in the Manchester synagogue attack, has told the BBC he is “physically doing very well”.

Speaking outside Heaton Park synagogue after the King’s visit, he said: “I’m doing very well. Physically, I’m doing very well.”

Mr Finlay was accidentally shot by police responding to the attack on 2 October.

On meeting the King, Mr Finlay said: “It was quite an honour. Quite surreal but quite an honour.

“I think it really sends out a message. It shows a lot of support from the very top of the country. It was very special that he came. It was an honour to meet him.”
