Manchester Town Hall glows blue and yellow for Sweden
It follows an attack in Stockholm on Friday.
Manchester Town Hall will be lit in the colours of the Swedish flag from dusk today as Manchester stands in solidarity with Sweden.
Four people were killed and 15 wounded when a lorry drove into pedestrians in the main shopping area of Stockholm on Friday.
A book of condolence has also been opened for members of the public to write messages of support to Sweden, and to those who lost their lives.
Sir Richard Leese, Leader of Manchester City Council, said: “It’s with another heavy heart that we hear of the attack in Stockholm. Our thoughts are with the families of those who lost their lives on Friday, and also with each and every person caught in the incident.
“Mindless attacks like this continue to shock the world and it remains more important than ever that we stand united against the forces of evil, and rally against terror with love, harmony and respect.”
