Manchester Arena attack commemoration plans outlined

    Emerging proposals to commemorate one year since the Manchester Arena terror attack have been revealed.

    The attack at an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena on 22 May 2017, which claimed the lives of 22 people, saw the city and wellwishers around the world come together in a display of solidarity.

    Plans to mark the year anniversary of the attack include A Trees of Hope Trail through the city centre, where people will be able to leave personal messages of hope, and support for those affected on trees placed at key locations around the city centre.

    Albert Square, the scene of an emotional vigil last year the day after the attack, will play host to a free public event in the early evening giving people the chance to once again come together.
