A 77-year-old woman has died after a bus crashed into a shop in Manchester.
Almena Amica – who was known as Mena – was taken to hospital with serious injuries following the incident in Piccadilly Gardens on Monday afternoon.
Greater Manchester Police said she has since died – as her family paid tribute to her and thanked people who came to her aid.
Eleven other people, both pedestrians and bus passengers, were either treated at the scene or in hospital for minor injuries.
A 64-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and has since been bailed.
In a statement, Ms Amica’s family said: “Mena was dedicated to her family, friends and faith.
“She loved music, gardening, TV soaps and nature. She was the senior member of our family, the eldest sister and great-great-aunt.
“She was well-loved, our matriarch, and her presence will be hugely missed.”
The family added: “We thank all the services and people who came to her aid.”
