Manchester Victoria to fall silent on seven-year anniversary of Arena attack

Manchester Victoria station will fall silent to mark the seventh-anniversary of the Manchester Arena terror attack.

A second minute's silence will then take place at 10.31pm to mark the moment of the attack. Craig Harrop, regional director for Northern in the North West, said: "The Manchester Arena attack has had a lasting impact on the station staff and customers at Manchester Victoria."As we mark the seventh anniversary of the attack, we remember the 22 victims and all those affected by what happened that night.

Plans have also been revealed for a spectacular drone display to feature as part of events to remember the 22 innocent people killed in the bombing. The concept is the brainchild of Andrew Roussos, the father of eight-year-old Saffie-Rose Roussos, the youngest victim of the attack, with the support of Andy Burnham.

The Mayor said the event will be ‘very personal and poignant’. People are being invited to congregate on Cathedral Approach from 10pm to watch the display, which will culminate in the ringing of the bells at Manchester Cathedral.
