Demonstration following Manchester bombing

There was a protest held for the memorial of Manchester attack victims on Thursday 25th May. This took place in Centenary Square, Bradford.

Many people from different religions and races attended this memorial. There were a lot of flowers and candles in the memory of the victims.

As these photographs show, those attending included: the Bishop of Bradford, Rt Rev Toby Howarth; Bradford MPs Naz Shah and Imran Hussain; the ex-Lord Mayor, Rev Geoff Reid and the current Lord Mayor, Cllr Abid Hussain, Saleem and Joyce Dutt, Pastor Joel, Mrs Anjum and many other ministers from different Churches. A group representing the Bradford South Asian Forum was there to show their respect and support. There were a lot of police in evidence, for the safety of Bradford.

It was great to see everybody standing together to show solidarity against terrorism and to prove that such incidents will not drive us apart.

Saleem and Joyce D, St Andrew’s

Together we have munched our way through a tonne of biscuits and home-made scones and consumed gallons of coffee and tea. We have baked and bric-a-bracked and book sorted and are all exhausted and half a stone heavier than we were in May but feel it has been well worth the effort. In addition to enjoying very pleasant social evenings, with God's help we have succeeded in raising over £1,200 - approximately £250 each for the five chosen charities: Yorkshire Air Ambulance , Parkinson Society , Alzheimer's Society , Multiple Sclerosis Society and Martin House Children's Hospice . We are already planning for next summer and look forward t...
