Ariana is set to get a late birthday present next month when she will be named an honorary Mancunian. The honour will be bestowed on her after she staged a benefit concert in the city to raise funds for those affected by the Manchester terror attack, which happened after her concert on May 22 and left 22 people dead and more than 50 injured.

Town hall boss Sir Richard Leese said recently: "We’ve all had cause to be incredibly proud of Manchester and the resilient and compassionate way in which the city responded to the terrible events of May 22 with love and courage, rather than hatred and fear. Ariana exemplified this response. I think many people would already consider her an honorary Mancunian, and we would be delighted to make it official."
