Police investigating the Manchester suicide bombing have evacuated an area in the south of the city after finding a car which they say "may be significant to the investigation".

Greater Manchester Police said a 100 metre cordon was in place after the vehicle was found in Devell Court in Rusholme.

Detective Chief Superintendent Russ Jackson said: "This is potentially a significant development in the investigation."

Police said the Royal Manchester Infirmary remained open but people had been evacuated from Ronald McDonald House, which provides accommodation for families of patients at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.

Officers at the scene are assessing the car.

The development came as the Duke of Cambridge visited Greater Manchester Police HQ to meet officers who were among the first to respond to the bombing.
