Ariana Grande sends support to victims

Pop star Ariana Grande has said her thoughts remain with all those affected by the Manchester Arena bombing one year on from the atrocity.

The 24-year-old, who had been performing at the venue when the terror attack claimed the lives of 22 people on 22 May last year, shared a touching message on social media as the families of victims and survivors prepared to mark the anniversary. She wrote: “Thinking of you all today and every day. I love you with all of me and am sending you all of the light and warmth I have to offer on this challenging day.”

She later added: “I love you so much and wish I were there with you.”
