Kind sisters from Caernarfon in Wales have given two survivors of the fatal Manchester terror attack their tickets to see pop superstar Justin Bieber.

The sisters, 26-year-old Siobhan Jones and 22-year-old Shaunagh Ellen Jones, thought of the idea to raffle off their tickets after seeing the tragedy caused by the attack.

The pair raffled their £65 pound tickets on Facebook and after getting thousands of requests, Siobhan and Shaunagh managed to whittle it down to 30 people.

The lucky winners of the prestigious tickets are Ellie Willett and Abbie Ramanaden, after Ellie's mum was chosen at random in the raffle.

Ellie and Abbie were caught up in the tragic events at the Manchester Arena terror attack on 22nd May. The girls will now travel to Cardiff to see Bieber on his 'Purpose World Tour' on Friday 30th June.

Siobhan wrote, 'The name pulled out of the hat is for Faye Willet and her courageous and brave beautiful daughter Ellie and her friend Abbie Ramanaden who I hope will enjoy Friday, June 30 more than I have could.'

The Daily Post are reporting that Siobhan said, "I’ve seen Justin Bieber previously. I would rather that the bomb victims can go in our place and it could help their confidence and bring them some happiness.

“This week has been such a emotional rollercoaster, having spoken to victims of the Manchester attack and giving away the tickets. The heartbreaking stories I’ve heard. I could never imagine going through what all you brave people have gone through.”

22 people tragically lost their lives and many more were left injured when a suicide bomber detonated an explosive device in the foyer of the Manchester Arena as concert goers left an Ariana Grande concert.

Not long after, Ariana returned to Manchester to put on One Love Manchester, a charity concert to benefit the injured and the families of those who lost their lives during the attack.

Ariana invited a number of high profile stars to perform on the show including Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Little Mix, Coldplay and Miley Cyrus.

Ariana also embarked on her biggest tour to date - the 'Dangerous Woman Tour' supporting her third album 'Dangerous Woman'. Devastatingly, her show at Manchester Arena on 22nd May 2017 ended with a horrific tragedy when a bomb killed 22 people and injured many others.

Following the terrible events of that night, messages of support for those affected poured in from around the world, including many from pop stars and celebrities.

Ariana, along with her team, worked quickly to put on a show that would bring everyone together at such a difficult time. Less than two weeks after the attack, the One Love Manchester benefit concert took place, with a line-up that included Katy Perry, Little Mix, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and many more artists - as well as Ariana herself.
