Council bosses have unveiled plans to mark the sixth anniversary of the Manchester Arena bombing atrocity, which claimed 22 lives in May, 2017.The council said the 'focal point of remembrance and reflection' will be the memorial, which was opened by the now Prince and Princess of Wales in May last year ahead of the fifth anniversary of the terror attack.
Two one-minute silences will take place at Manchester Victoria railway station during the day – at 12 noon and 22.31pm, the exact anniversary of the attack. Candles will also be made available for people to light. The long-running public inquiry into the bombing ended in February last year after 194 days of scheduled evidence.
