    Prince William remembered victims of Manchester terror attack at a poignant service

    The 35-year-old royal joined families and friends of the 22, who tragically lost their lives when a bomb was detonated in the lobby area of Manchester Arena following an Ariana Grande concert, last year


    The prince read a biblical verse at the Manchester Arena National Service of Commemoration, which took place at Manchester Cathedral.

    Well wishers also gathered in the vicinity of the cathedral and watched the service, which was also broadcasted across the UK, on big screens. The crowd looked visibly moved as they remembered the victims. The multi-faith service also thanked the emergency personnel who helped victims during and after the attack as well as in the following weeks.

    Manchester came together to leave 7,000 handmade hearts around the city whilst there were also bouquets and cards remembering the victims left in nearby St. Ann's Square.

    To remember the tragedy, the council also created a programme of events based around Remembrance, Reflection and a Celebration of Life called Manchester Together. This included the Trees of Hope trail, which runs from Victoria Station through to St Ann’s Square.

    Each tree has been decorated with messages of support and solidarity for Manchester and also a chance for people to leave tributes to the victims. The Trees of Hope trail is set to form part of the "ongoing archive of public responses to the attack".

    Ariana Grande also sent "light and warmth" to the victims and she admitted the milestone will be a "challenging" day.

    Along with a bee emoji, which is a symbol of the North West England city, she wrote: "love u v much ... thinking of you all today and every day [bee] 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 (sic)"
