Manchester born, Salman Abedi, 22, killed himself and 22 others, including children, when he detonated an improvised explosive device in the foyer of the Manchester Arena on Monday evening.

Hospitals in Manchester are still treating up to 60 people, many of whom are thought to be children, who sustained injuries during the attack.

British Prime Minister, Theresa May, raised the official terror threat level to ‘critical’ on Tuesday evening - this means other terrorist attacks are expected.
