Around twenty colleagues of Manchester Arena attack victim Kelly Brewster set off from the city centre this morning as part of a bike ride to raise money in her honour.

Staff from Aviva began the 100 mile journey at 7.30am which will end just outside Sheffield city centre at around 4.30pm today.

Coffees were free flowing as cyclists prepared for the trip at a city centre café before their journey got underway.

Kelly was one of the 22 victims killed in the May 22nd attack – the arena is due to reopen for the first time since the atrocity this weekend with a special benefit gig.

Kelly’s mum and dad Kim and Kevin and her partner Ian were there this morning to offer their support to the team as they set off.

Money raised from today's bike ride will go towards the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.
