Heatbreaking and so bloody senseless, :o my heart goes out to their families. How on earth did someone get into the arena with a bomb?  Thought everyone would have been searched on entry..........

They didn't busybee waited outside as the people left the venue. Absolutely the most selfish cowardly act to do .
Sometimes I wonder what this world is coming to .

Apparently someone in the Foyer, a suspected suicide bomb.   Dreadful, what do these people hope to achieve by targeting young kids??

Confirmed dead now 52 and 50+ injured.  Only 12 miles or so from my place.  May those who died rest in peace.  Please pray for their families who must be heartbroken at their loss.

   Why the bloody hell are our "Leaders " letting known terrorist's and ISIL followers back into the UK from Syria and Turkey.??

   We are told the Intelligence Services do not have the resources to track their activities so why let them back into the UK

   The rights of the UK population should over rule the rights of these scum. Destroy their passports, they don't deserve them. !!

   RIP the 22 killed and a quick recovery to the scores injured.  Terrible night.

Devastating to read those looking for loved ones on FB and Twitter this morning. So many looking for children and even children looking for parents. I'm not ashamed to say I shed a few tears this morning.

I wish there was an answer to this.

As a parent of two (not teenage any more) girls who have been regular concerts goers from an early age, mere words fail me here...
