When Manchester falls silent, it manages to say what words cannot.
In a city that is fiercely energetic and perpetually alive, quiet like this is reserved only for the times that weigh heaviest on our hearts and minds. For Mancunians, May 22 will always be a day to remember the 22 people who tragically lost their lives when a bomb ripped through the Manchester Arena. It is a day for reflection, a day for grief, and a day for which silence will always be spoken for.
Crowds gathered at Manchester Victoria station and the Glade of Light memorial at noon to pay tribute to those 22 individuals who did not make it home on this day six years ago. Each person has a story - where they were that dreadful night, who they knew, what they saw - and in that minute of silence, Manchester listens.
