If you go on twitter, there's a video of it. Brilliant.
Sorry, but I think the people of Manchester need something to feel good about for a night.
Some of them arrived on crutches.
It's being shown in 50 countries. There were messages from lots of acts who couldn't be there.

Did you see the policeman dancing with the kids?

It's been a really good/uplifting concert considering it was only thrown together in a week.

The organiser made a speech saying that the families had been consulted and Ariane has visited the hospital. One Mum who had lost her daughter said she would have wanted to hear the hits.
I must admit that I have never heard of half of the acts, but am singing along to the older stuff.

I didn't know it was being televised so switched in BBC1 and it was on, a male singer, it made me uncomfortable and. Chose not to watch, think it is too soon, Have all the dead been buried yet?

It's been a very moving evening. But it is wonderful to see all those people,mostly young,enjoy themselves after such an atrocity.
They really have shown courage by being there.

I'm the same, never heard of her before. She comes across as a really caring person, very impressed by her.

Anyone watching this?

I'd never heard of Ariane Grandé before the bombing but I'm really impressed. The way she sang with the little girl in the choir who was obviously overwhelmed by the occasion had us both in tears.

No wonder she has such a massive following. She's only 23 but has a huge heart.
