Graham Norton opened his show with a tribute to the victims of the Manchester attack
GRAHAM NORTON opened his chat show last night with a moving tribute to the victims of the Manchester bombing.

Twenty-two people died in the attack at an Ariana Grande concert in the Manchester Arena on Monday night, with at least 59 people injured.
At the start of the show, Graham normally gives a humorous run down of world events, but last night he decided instead to use the time to talk about the attack.
“Sometimes the world isn’t a very funny place, especially after the terrible event in Manchester,” he said.

In a statement released last night, Ariana Grande said she will return to Manchester to play a benefit concert for the victims and their families, and called on people to respond to the violence by coming “closer together”.
