Where you can reflect and remember

-

A NATIONAL Service of Remembranc­e will take place tomorrow from 2pm-3pm when Prince William and Prime Minister Theresa May, pictured, will attend the special event at Manchester Cathedral.

During the service, there will be a national minute’s silence at 2.30pm, including across all government buildings.

The invitation-only event has been arranged for the families of those who lost their lives, first responders and civic leaders.

However, members of the public will be able to watch the hour-long service on a big screen in nearby Cathedral Gardens.

It will also be screened at York Minster, Liverpool Metropolit­an Cathedral and Glasgow Cathedral.

Later, Manchester Together With One Voice - will take place from 7pm to 9pm in Albert Square.

Parents and children who were at Manchester Arena on the night of last year’s bombing will take centre stage this anniversar­y event.

The Manchester Survivors Choir - made up mostly of parents and children - will sing.

Thousands of people are expected to join the mass singalong in what will no doubt be an incredibly emotional event.

Also, There is a Light takes place from tomorrow until Saturday.

For five nights, song lyrics will be projected on to the pavements and buildings in St Ann’s Square, including the famous church.

In the wake of the bombing, the square became a place for reflection and contemplat­ion as mourners left a sea or flowers, teddies and tributes in memory of those who lost their lives.

Families of the 22 victims, as well as members of the public, have been invited to select lyrics to promote reflection and to also inspire.
