Not going into politics or anything like that but Manchester for me is the wrestling capital of the country. If I get on a train on the way to Manchester, I know I'm getting a match.

It's sort of like another home to me.

In the aftermath of an attack on it, with all that darkness and despairing of humanity - there's stories of kindness, compassion and empathy.

A hero isn't a guy who puts on Speedos and gets in the ring and destroys everyone. Not all heroes wear capes.

It's those in uniforms running towards a building that others run from, coming in on their day off to help. It's strangers offering others beds, chargers and of course, a cuppa.
It's taxi drivers and businesses offering services and help free of charge.

Manchester won't be beaten.

It may be knocked down temporarily, but like it's wrestlers, it won't lay down long.

It's up before you know it.

Manchester is strong.

I stand with Manchester as I remember all those who have lost their lives.

I wholeheartedly agree. To all my friends especially those who reside in the Manchester area I hope you are all safe and well As stated above I look upon Manchester as a place I go to have fun as did all of those who did so last night. Let's all just sit and have a few quiet moments to reflect

Beautifully put, Hephaestion. Many of us have friends in Manchester, have had happy meetings there, and now send sincere good wishes and support at a dark time in that fine city's history.

I remember the IRA bomb and remember feeling the anger at the devastation that that caused, however no-one was killed on that occasion as someone noticed the suspicious vehicle. I don't get why terrorists target my home town considering how diverse it is.
