Absolutely, well said Rusty.

My son's just texted- lives outside Manchester, fortunately his children are away with school this week, but all attended a concert in same venue a couple of Mondays ago.

I'm so glad your grandchildren are safe DorsetLady. It brings it home to you when you hear that something has happened at the venue they had attended only a couple of weeks previously. My sister used to live in Salford and my young niece is a keen concert-goer, so it's particularly poignant for them, although of course it has affected us all, like it does every time something like this happens.

Keep safe (and vigilant) everyone.

Thank you. I think it's the fact that young people were targeted that makes it more incomprehensible for most people.

Unfortunately we've been here before, and no doubt we'll be here again, but as a nation we are very resilient- and as we say -we will not let anyone destroy our way of life, nor our compassion.

I awoke from a nightmare first thing straight into the nightmare in Manchester. Needless to say mine paled in comparison. What soft easy targets these cowards choose. My heart goes out to all those caught up in this attack.

Dreadful news, and especially sad that so many young children have been caught up in this. I do hope that all our friends on the forum and their families are safe. I always think how difficult it must be for all those in the emergency services having to deal with the aftermath of these horrific events - we're so blessed to have them.
