WE HEARD THE HORRIFIC NEWS COMING OUT OF MANCHESTER IN

ENGLAND.

THERE HAD BEEN AN INCIDENT AT AR YARNA GRANDE'S CONCERT.

THERE IS NO INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING, ALL WE KNOW

IS THE TRAGIC NEWS OF MULTIPLE FATALITIES AND MANY INJURIES.

IT SHOCKS ME EVERY TIME WE HEAR THIS SORT OF NEWS THAT ATTACKS

LIKE THIS CAN HAPPEN, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE WILL BE SO

MANY CHILDREN AT THIS CONCERT TONIGHT.

MANY OF YOU WON'T HAVE EVER BEEN TO MANCHESTER BUT YOU WILL

DEFINITELY HAVE HEARD OF IT.

IT IS FAMOUS ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS,

GREAT FOOTBALL TEAMS, MAN CITY, MAN UNITED, IS FAMOUS FOR

INCREDIBLE MUSIC, OASIS AND JOY DIVISION.

IT WAS THE BIRTH PLACE OF THE LEADER OF THE SUFFRAGETTES.

IT'S THE HOME OF THE INVENTOR OF THE FIRST COMPUTER.

IT'S A PLACE FULL OF COMEDY AND CURRIES AND CHARACTER.

BUT WHEN I THINK OF MANCHESTER, THE PLACE THAT I KNOW, I THINK

OF THE SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE THERE.

AND I'M TELLING YOU A MORE TIGHT KNIT GROUP OF PEOPLE YOU WILL BE

HARD-PRESSED TO FIND, STRONG, PROUD, CARING PEOPLE WITH

COMMUNITY AT ITS CORE.

AND IF IT WAS EVEN POSSIBLE, THE SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE OF

MANCHESTER WILL GROW EVEN STRONGER THIS EVENING.

MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH EVERYONE IN MANCHESTER TONIGHT,

ALL OF THE STAFF AT THE MEN ARENA, ALL OF THE SECURITY

TEAMS, ALL OF THE EMERGENCY SERVICES, ARYANA AND HER TEAM

AND ALL OF THOSE FAMILIES AFFECTED BY TONIGHT.

WE'LL ALL GO TO BED HOLDING OUR LITTLE ONES EVEN TIGHTER THIS
