Ariana Grande fans have begun arriving for the American pop singer’s Manchester benefit concert, nervous but determined to show solidarity with the victims of the suicide bombing at an earlier Grande show in the city.
Fans Stacie Richardson and James Bend say there were shaken after the May 22 attack at Manchester Arena. But that wasn’t going to stop them from coming back to show support for both Grande and the 22 people killed in the attack.
Richardson says Grande is “very brave to come back so soon.”
They say the car and knife rampage in London on Saturday did little to ease their worries.
Linda Tipping and Laura Mayren, from Chorley in northwest England, say they were determined to enjoy themselves even as London was reeling.
Tipping says: “We can’t let them stop us.”
