Seven years ago today, on 22nd May 2017, Manchester Arena suffered an terrorist attack following an Ariana Grande concert. The attack took place in the foyer of the arena as thousands of children, young people and adults started to make their way home after what should have been a joyous evening. Instead, twenty-two people were murdered that night: the youngest victim, Saffie-Rose Roussos, was only 8 years old .
Many hundreds of people were injured that night, and countless others continue to be impacted by the events of that evening.
You can learn more about those who lost their lives by reading the tributes written by family and friends here.
