Wednesday, 16th August 2017

The Manchester Arena will reopen for the first time since the May terror attack with a benefit concert to honour those killed in the bombing.
Arena bosses have announced that the venue, which has been closed since the attack on 22 May, will open its doors again on Saturday, 9 September.
The We Are Manchester concert will include performances from Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, The Courteeners, Blossoms and Rick Astley.
All profits raised will go to the Manchester Memorial Fund, a charitable trust overseen by the city's Lord Mayor which will go towards establishing a permanent memorial for the victims of the attack.
James Allen, general manager of the arena, said: "May's events will never be forgotten, but they will not stop us - or Mancunian music fans - from coming together to enjoy live music."
Concert-goers will have to go through additional security and screening.
Suicide bomber Salman Abedi killed 22 people when he detonated a device as crowds left an Ariana Grande concert at the arena.
