    Second device apparently. Moving cordon back to attempt controlled explosion.

    Near the train station apparently...

    People can't find their kids. Absolutely heartbreaking.

    Just seen the news. What kind of low life would target kids like that? My heart breaks for all those involved.

    Judging by the photos on Twitter I'd guess the majority are very young adults or kids.

    I never expected terror to return to my city. Such a sad day, targeting kids at a music concert. There's no way this city will roll over to terrorism, we'll stand together again and support those who have lost so much.

    Not much to say that hasn't been already said. These people are not human.

    First I saw was clicking on FB when I woke up and seeing a note from my cousin saying she's safe! Must have been there.

    As my fiancée pointed out, some kids such as the 14 year old whose mum has gone public might not have ID at that age and if they are in hospital or unconsious it might not be possible to know who they are. Or if they are dead of course...

    Utterly heartbroken this morning. How can they deliberately target kids? So many people going through the worst of nightmares.

    Absolutely heart breaking... and what will it achieve? ... the second "Iron Lady" will now have to act decisively to appease the eye for an eye types (particularly on the eve of a General Election) ... the retaliation will claim many more lives than the innocents that have just been lost and the likelihood is that there will be 'collateral damage' in such a response with more innocents being killed in that response ...

    Finally, if 'God' exists would he really feel the need to have innocent people killed in his name? ... he created the fcuked up world in the first place ...figure he can take care of himself and his own 'rep' without the need for help from mere mortals ...
