Thousands hold vigil in Manchester
Thousands of people turn out for a vigil in Manchester, with the crowd holding a minute of silence to honor the victims of the concert attack.
Lord Mayor Eddy Newman and the city’s police chief are among the speakers in front of city hall in Albert Square. Several people in the crowd hold up signs with “I Love MCR,” an abbreviation for Manchester.
