This is just awful. 19 confirmed dead, 50 injured and treated as a terror attack.
At a concert where children are the main crowd. Totally heartbreaking.

It's totally sick. :( Flowers To the victims and their families and friends, and courage for the young people who were there tonight. I can't imagine how scary this must have been for them.

I just can't switch off and stop thinking about how utterly horrendous it must have been (still is). Innocent kids out for a fun night. There are no words.

Dixie I know...I feel the same. I'm a long, long way from home but I feel shocked and very sad.

Utterly heartbreaking

Just spreading the word - if anyone is willing to donate blood in Manchester, they've set up blood donation centres. Please do pass this information on if you can. Thank you Flowers
