Terror tribute for television soap set

The new Coronation Street set includes a permanent tribute to the 22 people who died in last year’s Manchester Arena bombing. The ITV soap’s newlook set – which was unveiled yesterday – features a mosaiccovered memorial bench taking pride of place in an urban garden in memory of those who died, with a special mention for Corrie superfan Martyn Hett.

A plaque on the bench reads: “For Martyn and all those who lost their lives on the 22nd of May 2017. We stand together.”
