    My daughter was there. She's fine and on her way home. Said it was very scary, but so far, the stories are reporting either a bomb, gun shots, or a simple speaker exploding.

    Thankfully. My daughter rang and really played it down. But people have died according to the breaking news. Very pleased your family and mine made it out unscathed.

    Police just carried out another controlled explosion in cathedral gardens and I believe they are treating it as a terroist attack. Thoughts are with all those effected.

    Yes, that's what GMP have said, 22nd May is the anniversary of Lee Rigby's death too.

    Apparently the controlled explosion they just carried out in cathedral gardens was actually a bit of abondend clothing that looked suspicious, better safe than sorry though.

    Horrendous act targeting more innocents. Glad to hear your families are safe.

    It appears this was definitely a terrorist attack targeting a concert primarily attended by teenage girls.

    My heart goes out to those injured and the families of those killed. Glad the posters above had good news about their loved ones who were there.

    Hard to make a constructive post I am so sad and angry about the actions of the evil creatures behind this.

    Evil act against a concert and arena, attended by teens and parents.
    Disgusted.

    Glad all the above families are safe. My daughter was there the other week, her first big night out with mates, and I feel numb enough.
    What an absolute tragedy. 22 confirmed now.

    So glad to hear the above families are safe and well

    What a country we live in when kids , parents attend a music concept and don't come home .

    There surely has to be a special place in hell for someone who would target a concert aimed at kids. Hard to know what words to use.
