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.

He has been working with a specialist company to create the display. "To be honest, it's beautiful,” Andrew said. “It's absolutely
