PA has words from another eyewitness. Peter Jones, 44, from the Isle of Man, attended the parade and described the incident as “shocking”.

He said: “We were walking up Water Street, thousands around us.

“We heard a frantic beeping ahead, a car flew past me and my mate, people were chasing it and trying to stop him, windows smashed at the back.

“He then drove into people, police and medics ran past us, and people were being treated on the side of the road.

One eyewitness said the vehicle reversed before “what seemed like an incredibly deliberate” acceleration into a crowd of people near the packed Water Street area of the city centre.
