A year has passed since the terror attack at Manchester Arena in which 22 people were killed by suicide bomber Salmen Abedi, and singer Ariana Grande, at whose show the bombing took place, is paying tribute to both the victims, their families and the people of Manchester.
The singer's performance was just finishing when Abedi detonated a suicide bomb in the foyer of the arena, killing and injuring more than 800 both physicially and mentally, many of who are young fans.

Taking to Twitter to remember those lost and hurt by the attack, Ariana wrote: "Thinking of you all today and every day 🐝 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."
She also shared the bee emoji as a nod to Manchester's worker bee emblem.
Returning to Manchester two weeks later, Ariana hosted benefit concert One Love Manchester to raise funds to support victims and their families, as well as to show that love and music will always win over hatred.
Ariana recently spoke about the attack for the first time with TIME, which she called "the absolute worst of humanity."
"Music is supposed to be the safest thing in the world," she said. "I think that's why it's still so heavy on my heart every single day. I wish there was more that I could fix."
Today a minute's silence will be held across the UK at 2.30pm GMT to remember those lost while Prime Minister Theresa May and Prince William are reportedly expected to attend a private memorial service for the families of the victims of the attack.
