The father of Chloe Rutherford, who died alongside her boyfriend Liam Curry in the Manchester arena bombing, has told ITV News how both families are creating a lasting legacy for the pair.

They've worked together to make the Chloe and Liam Together Forever Trust, a charity which aims to help people with aspirations in sport or performance art, things Chloe and Liam were very passionate about.

Mark Rutherford, Chloe's father, said the decision to make a trust was made soon after the attack.

Since Chloe and Liam's deaths the two families have grown closer.

Together they now do some of the things that Chloe and Liam used to love doing.

As well as sustaining their legacy, the trust is giving both families something to focus on since they lost Chloe and Liam five months ago.
