‘Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of those affected and all the people of Manchester at this difficult time. We are with you and you are in our prayers.’

Ariana’s Dangerous Woman tour has also been postponed until June 7 in the wake of the attack on the Manchester Arena on Monday May 22, which saw suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonate a bomb inside the foyer as concert goers filed out, and where parents and friends stood waiting for their children.

The explosion killed 22 people – the youngest being aged just eight – and left 119 people injured.
