Jane Tweddle-Taylor tragically died in the bombing back in May after the mother-of-three went to Manchester Arena with her friend to pick up her friend’s children from the Ariana Grande concert.
Two of her daughters Harriet, 25, and Isabelle, 20, appeared on Lorraine earlier today to discuss their search for a policewoman who held their mother’s hand in the aftermath of the blast, which killed 22 people.
They said that, although it had been difficult to deal with the grief of losing their mother, finding out that she had someone there with her had given them comfort, explaining: “We found out there was a young policewoman there a`nd it gave us comfort that she wasn’t alone.”
The women became very emotional when host Lorraine Kelly, 57, announced that ITV had found the mystery woman, revealing her to be Jessica Bullough of the London Transport Police.
They struggled to hold back tears as Lorraine read out an emotional message from Jessica.
“To Harriet, Lily and Isabelle, I want to start by saying that I can’t imagine what you girls have been going through for the past few months since the loss of your mum,” the letter said. “Jane sounded like such an amazing, wonderful, fun-loving lady who would be so proud of you girls right now.
“I believe you’ve been trying to find me now for the past few months – I can understand that’s proven difficult but now, with the help of ITV, they’ve been able to make contact with me.
“I’ve also for the past few months thought about Jane and her family with the hope of finding you and meeting you one day.
“I really hope this can be arranged soon as I would be honoured to meet you girls,” Jessica said in the message. “Lots of love from Jessica Bullough from the British Transport Police.”
The host assured the girls that the programme would arrange for them to meet the woman who had comforted their mother in the final moments of her life in the Manchester terror attack.
Lorraine airs weekdays at 8.30am on ITV.
