At least 22 concert-goers were killed last night and 50 injured after a lone suicide bomber targeted Manchester Arena at the end of a pop show. Witnesses described hearing a huge bang shortly after 10.30pm at the entrance to the Arena as thousands of people made their way out of a concert by the American singer Ariana Grande.

Theresa May, the Prime Minister, suspended her General Election campaign in the wake of the apparent terror attack and there will be an emergency Cobra meeting at 9am this morning.
It is the worst terror attack to hit Britain since the July 7 2005 suicide bomb attacks in central London in which 52 people were killed. It came four years to the day Lee Rigby was murdered by Islamist extremists. Grande said she was "broken" by the incident but she was not harmed.
