Thanks, Jaxie. It was a nice day, police were noticeable in most areas and the city felt very safe. Essentially what Cherie said.

I heard they're looking for the terrorists and made several arrests.

Top of my street was closed off this evening after suspicious package was found, thankfully it was a false alarm, but they cordoned off quite a large area.

Ariana has posted her response to the attack o and it is very touching.
What she posted is more heartfelt and honest than anything I have heard from any politician, and I feel she has said what we are all thinking

I'm Not sure how to post tweets but if someone could post it that'd be great

I went to the memorial place in St. Ann's square to lay flowers there's so many tributes it's beautiful to see but so sad at the same time. So many armed police around.

Not good enough. Muslims need to get on their WhatsApp and tell ISIS to stop these attacks right now.

May needs to start answering questions. MI5 were warned about this guy five times5... five fecking times We could of stopped lives being lost.

"There are 3,000 people on the UK terror watch list. MI5 has 4,000 staff. It takes 30 people to keep a terror suspect under surveillance – do the maths.

The Americans spend five times as much as us (per capita) on intelligence. So why do we think we can do it on the cheap?"

Have you any idea the size of the problem MI5 are working with? No, of course you don't. You take snippets of information and use them as a stick to beat the British. It's tiresome.

And please.... it's COULD HAVE... and not COULD OF. Just a personal thing but really annoying.

Just in St Anne's Square looking at the tributes. So emotional. People just in quiet contemplation....leaving messages. Beautiful and heartbreaking.

There was a minutes silence on Radio 2 today which I felt was inappropriate and mawkish. Each to their own but I find these things ridiculous and unhelpful but if some people get some solace then so be it.

There was a nationwide silence at 2.30, there is a memorial service in Albert Square soon then the cathedral bells will ring at 10.31. Everywhere has been united and weirdly "together" and its nice to see the city pull back together to remember.
