On the two-year anniversary of the Manchester Arena bombing, today the city stood in solidarity. On a day of reflection, MM went out to sample the sombre atmosphere and speak to people about their thoughts and memories of the tragic events.

Manchester is turning to the power of talking to help those suffering with their mental health and stop the stigma often associated with it.

This focus on talking comes in the midst of Mental Health Awareness Week and includes the ‘Shining a Light on Suicide Campaign’, recently launched in Salford by the Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership, backed by Mayor Andy Burnham.
