Reports suggest that two bombs have gone off near the Manchester Arena area, all lines in and out of Manchester Victoria are blocked. No one really knows what is going on, stay away from the area is the word of the police.

No one really knows what is going on, stay away from the area is the word of the police. Now confirmed that there are sadly fatalities and a bomb disposal unit has been drafted in. Thoughts are with the injured and deceased.

So far 19 reported fatalities and over 50 injuries - devastating and tragic considering the type of artist would attract a younger audience.
My heart skipped a few beats when I first heard as I couldn't remember if my sister was at the concert tonight or last night. Thankfully she was at last nights, but my thoughts are with anyone involved in this.

Shocking, all the more so as it appears that children were targeted.
The death toll has risen to 22.

A little bit of positivity on an otherwise dreadful day for the city of Manchester, hospitals have been overwhelmed with people offering to donate blood, taxi drivers have been taking people free of charge and many other businesses have done all the can to help, something like this always brings out the best in people.

The UK terror threat level has been raised from 'severe' to 'critical', meaning that an attack is imminent. Very worrying, given that this has come from the security services. Stay safe everyone.

They want you to be scared. Go and ride on the 33s like you always would do. Don't change any aspect of your life. I shan't be, and I hope you won't either. Take very good care of yourselves, forum, and enjoy your lives. Despite the terrible events of last night, this is still, by and large, a wonderful world and the vast majority of people upon this planet of ours have hearts of gold.

Absolutely, my daughter and granddaughter have tickets for the Ariana Grande concert at the o2 and they are still intending to go if indeed the concert goes ahead. We cannot allow these lunatics to dictate our way of life.

Indeed, that's why after the Westminster Bridge attack, I made a point of walking over that bridge the weekend after - I won't be dictated to by some disgusting 'people' intent of trying to spread their warped vision!

Understandable and my daughter and granddaughter were quite happy to go along with whatever decision was taken, goodness only knows how Ariana Grande herself must be feeling.

Has the rumours of her paying for the funerals of all the deceased been verified. If it's true, then she has certainly gone up in my eyes.
