A city united in grief and defiance as Manchester marked the fifth anniversary of the Arena terror attack with the message: “Love is always stronger than hate.”
Bells across the city were set to toll at 10.31pm to mark the moment the bomb was detonated, killing 22, as fans left an Ariana Grande concert on May 22, 2017.
The names of all the victims were read out at the city’s Victoria railway station, where five years earlier youngsters had arrived looking forward to the concert.
