Her Honour Deborah Taylor opened the Inquiry with an official statement, setting the tone for what is expected to be a thorough and rigorous examination of the events leading up to, during, and following the attack:

“The surviving victims and bereaved family members, have shown remarkable courage in seeking accountability, justice, and change by lobbying for Nottingham Inquiry. The start of the Inquiry marks a watershed moment for those affected by the attack, and for the people of Nottingham.
