“Impacted by the attack in Manchester. My affection for the victims and their families. Unite to curb such fanaticism.”

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but ISIS affiliates were celebrating on Twitter and social media shortly afterwards.

The UK election campaign has been suspended today as UK prime minister Theresa May chairs an emergency Cobra meeting.
