"It is desperately sad to hear confirmation that Courtney Boyle was killed in the Manchester attack, having been missing since then. My deepest condolences to her family and friends and everyone at Leeds Beckett University and the student union."
"Courtney was from Gateshead but was living and studying here and she was killed alongside her stepfather, Philip Tron. It was great to have Courtney in the city studying here and contributing to the vibrancy of the University and Leeds and this is a tragedy for Leeds as well as Gateshead."
"People in Leeds and at Leeds Beckett University join in solidarity with people in Gateshead in mourning for them and in praying for their families at this unimaginably difficult time".
