Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the incident in Manchester, UK, and their families and, of course, with our brothers and sisters in the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Services and North West Ambulance Services in Manchester. We’ll change our page images to express our solidarity with them.
