On the 22nd of May 2017, excited fans attended a concert at the Manchester Arena, a night which promised to be made of incredible memories became a nightmare, as a bomb tore through the foyer injuring hundreds and claiming the lives of 22 people.

Today I wish to respectfully mark the 5th anniversary, by praising the people of Manchester, and remembering those who were affected by the bombing.

Rest in peace
