Meanwhile, the City of Manchester will join together as one tonight, when a special concert made up of members who were at the concert on that terrible night, takes place.
The Manchester Survivors Choir, will join more than 3,000 singers from local choirs at the Manchester Together - With One Voice event in the city's Albert Square from 7.30pm to 9pm.
In an article for the Manchester Evening News, UK Prime Minister Theresa May said: "The targeting of the young and innocent as they enjoyed a carefree night out in the Manchester Arena on May 22, 2017 was an act of sickening cowardice.
"It was designed to strike at the heart of our values and our way of life in one of our most vibrant cities, with the aim of breaking our resolve and dividing us. It failed.
"For such appalling acts of wickedness will do nothing but strengthen our resolve to defeat such twisted ideologies and beliefs.
"The resilience and determination shown by this city in the 12 months since is testament to that."
