Tributes have been paid to the 22 killed and the hundreds injured when a suicide bomber detonated a device at an Ariana Grande concert on May 22nd 2017.

There has been a nationwide one minute silence to mark the anniversary and a concert will be held. At 10.31pm, bells will ring out from buildings across the city centre to mark the moment when the attack took place 12 months ago.
