It's hard to believe it's been a year already since 23 people lost their lives as a result of the Manchester Arena bombing at an Ariana Grande concert.

23 were killed, including the attacker, and 139 were wounded, more than half of them children. Several hundred more suffered psychological trauma.

A year later, Manchester City Centre saw over 3,500 singers come together to remember the victims.

Last year, a vigil was held in Albert Square, but yesterday evening, with a much more upbeat vibe, thousands gathered again on the same spot, and Noel Gallagher lead the crowds in a rendition of 'Don't Look Back In Anger.'

The choir on stage as well as the thousands in the crowd also belted out Ariana Grande's song 'One Last Time' which was one of the songs that resonated with people in the days after the attack.
