Manchester Attack: "We Are A Resilient City; We Stick Together And This Has Proved It"

Published: May 23, 2017, 9:34 p.m.

b'Jodie & Soda speak with Manchester local Joe who recently attended the Albert Square vigil where thousands of people attended waving "I heart Manchester" placards to show the victims of the Ariana Grande concert attack, that wherever they are from, "they are Manchester too".

Joe works at Manchester radio station KEY 103 and says they have been getting so many calls from taxi drivers offering free lifts, companies delivering coffee to emergency services and from people just wanting to talk to someone.

He also tells the story of a homeless man entering the area after the explosions to help evacuate children attending the concert.

"He was begging outside the area, heard the explosion and rather than run away he run into the arena and was helping young kids and parents get out"

"We are a resilient city; we stick together and this has proved it"'
