Manchester attack: Hundreds gather to remember victims (bbc.co.uk).
An emotional memorial service marking the first anniversary of the Manchester Arena attack has been held.
Twenty-two people were killed and hundreds injured when a bomb was detonated at the end of an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May 2017.
With a national minute’s silence held to remember the victims at 2.30pm and Grande paying her own “thinking of you” tribute on social media:
The singer, who headlined the One Love concert in Manchester less than two weeks after the terror attack, said on Twitter: “I love you with all of me and am sending you all of the light and warmth I have to offer on this challenging day.”
