Manchester.

I am devestated what has happened in my city. They are the most friendliestand helpful people around . I am a mancunian born and rasiedand then spent my worki g life as a social worker in manchester and they are a resilient bunch. But for the people of manchester where music happened, and made people happy this will will leave its ugly scar. The areana which alway gravitates thounds of people nearly every week.,will always be overshadowerd by this day. But us mancuians welcome everyone into are city and we wont be devided.

Having visited Manchester on many occasions for u2 concerts and footie; it's just an awful tragedy . My grandson is due to start Manchester uni in September: this has upset him so much .My thoughts and prayers are with you all. 😔 x

[jojokarak in reply to Millie09]

No problem it's scary moving to a new city without this happening. And I am itchycoo free, so for me was definitely a side effect of Meds. Hope your well x

He's a lovely lad but only 5ft 2 bless him .He cannot wait to go to start as he's hoping to be a sports coach yay!glad your free of the itchies lol .

Fellow Mancunian here, not in the least bit surprised by all the good deeds. It's in the blood😀

Absolutely my man, always loved my city. Worked as a social worker with some of the worst child protection case in manchester for 20 years and now applied for magistrates position in the city. They are the most humble and generous lot. Was there yesterday it was such a hushed quietness about the place. So very sad.

My daughter's brother in law was killed in the Arena bombing. He was only 29 and as someone once said " he was a walking hen party". He lived life to the full and although the whole extended family miss him every day he squeezed out every bit of fun he could from every experience. His mother is not coping at all and can't think about anything but him.

We live about 4 miles outside Manchester but I'm proud of the way everyone pulled together.

My eldest daughter is doing a master's at mmu in social work. She wants to work in CAMS.

[catrinamakes]

Hi , hope you CV managed to see your go for a little bit of reassurance regarding your condition. Congratulations on your daughter taking up such a great profession, I work for a time in CAMS , very different pace to child protection . I feel so bad for your friend loosing her son , burger Will not be forgotten by me. A few days after the bombing people from all over country sent knitted hearts to Manchester , I managed to get one and it's pinned inside my bag ,and every time a touch it , I have a little moment, never to be forgotten. I live in cadishead which is near I Irlam.

Just try and enjoy today, don't let the tomorrow's ruin our day. One day at a time.

Kind regards Catrina
