Candlelit Vigil to Take Place in Wrexham to Pay Respects to Victims of Manchester Attack

A candlelit vigil to pay respect to the victims of the Manchester terrorist attack will take place in Wrexham tomorrow.

The vigil, which has been organised by local residents, will take place the the Bandstand on Llwyn Isaf at 6pm on Friday 26th May.

Anna Jones, who has helped organise the event with her family and friends, told Wrexham.com that the idea to hold a vigil locally came after attending the minute’s silence held at 11am today.

22 people were killed and 120 injured in the terror attack on the Manchester Arena after an Ariana Grande concert on Monday evening.

Details posted about the vigil on Facebook, state: “Wrexham community come together to pay your respects to the lives lost in Manchester. Me and my family plan to bring flowers and light candles and have a moment silence at 6pm at the band stand in honour of the lives taken at Manchester.

“I hope you can all share this around as much as possible and I hope to see you all there. Everyone is Welcome, the more support the better.”

The candlelit vigil will take place at the Bandstand on Llwyn Isaf tomorrow at 6pm – however people are invited to attend from 5:30pm onwards.
