As my adopted city prepares for that concert today my thoughts are with London where I was born spent my youth and where many of my family live.
I won’t attempt to write about the terrible incident, which will be done during the day and into the week by people far more eloquent than me.
So I will just leave it at that, and instead post two of the pictures which have come to symbolise how we in Manchester have reacted.
We are #Manchester ....# We Stand Together, and No Fear Here was painted on the wall in The Northern Quarter, and still people come to St Ann’s Square to lay flowers and pause for a moment’s quiet reflection.

I walked around the flowers in St Anne's Square the other day. I don't recall anything like this in Manchester before.
