A SPECTACULAR drone display is set to feature as part of events to remember the 22 innocent people killed in the Manchester Arena bombing.
Wednesday will mark the seventh anniversary of the atrocity, which happened on May 22, 2017.
The concept is the brainchild of Andrew Roussos, the father of eighty-year-old Saffie-Rose Roussos, the youngest victim of the attack, with the support of Andy Burnham. The exact nature of the display is being kept under wraps.
But Andrew told the M.E.N. that the display, which has been drawn up with other families, will be ‘absolutely beautiful’. The Mayor said the event will be ‘very personal and poignant’.
People are being invited to congregate on Cathedral Approach from 10pm to watch the display, which will culminate in the ringing of the bells at Manchester Cathedral. The display will be centred on the Glade of Light, a memorial opened by the now Prince and Princess of Wales ahead of the fifth anniversary.
Andrew told the M.E.N. that he wanted a ‘more vibrant’ memorial to reflect the life of his daughter. He said: “I certainly feel there should be more to mark May 22. We obviously had the first year and the second year and I just think things have gone a little bit quiet
