On the evening of 22 May 2017, thousands of young music fans were leaving the Manchester Arena following a sell-out Ariana Grande concert when an explosion ripped through the venue.

A suicide bomber had detonated a nail bomb in the foyer, where scores of parents were waiting to pick up their children, killing 22 people and leaving many more with terrible injuries.
