US singer Ariana Grande is to resume her world tour in Paris tonight, more than two weeks after it was interrupted by the Manchester suicide bomb attack.
Security will be extra tight in the French capital, a day after police shot and injured a man who attacked an officer outside the world-famous Notre Dame cathedral
Roads will be blocked off around the concert venue in the east of Paris while police will help security guards to check fans as they arrive for the show.
On May 22 a suicide bomber blew himself up, killing 22 people including 7 children at a concert by Grande in Manchester.
