A minute of silence is set to be observed at Manchester’s Victoria Station as the city marks the eighth anniversary of the Manchester Arena bombing.
Manchester City Council said silence would be observed twice throughout Thursday – at 12:00 BST and again at 22:32 – the exact time of the attack.
Twenty-two people were killed in the bombing at the end of an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May 2017 and hundreds more were injured.
Manchester Lord Mayor Carmaine Grimshaw and Council Leader Bev Craig will lay floral tributes to the victims “on behalf of the city” at the Glade of Light memorial near Manchester Cathedral, the council said.
