The advice on CBBC to children affected by the tragedy includes talking about worries with friends and trusted adults. It also advised looking for positive things, watching good movie or listening to music, so you can go to sleep on positive memories.
So I would like to concentrate on the multiple small acts of human kindness that shone through:
- Strangers coming to scene and offering help.
- Nurses returning to hospitals wanting to lend a had.
- Blood donors queuing
- People bringing food and drink for helpers at scene during day
- Residents sharing their homes for those with nowhere to go
- Parents sending on their children to safety whilst staying with a wounded girl till her father arrived
- Taxidriver AJ was one of many offering help and lifts to anyone who needed it
- Red Cross staff & volunteers providing practical and emotional support to people at the Etihad stadium
- Hotels took in Ariana Grande fans who had nowhere to stay last night
- Businesses giving people food and support today
- A couple on the streets offering hugs to anyone who needed it
- 60 ambulance crews working through the night
- One minute silences from Derby to Peterborough, by the Royal family and people on the street
- Sikh temples in the northern city offered shelter and food to those affected by the bombing
- Newspaper starts a Just giving page and has quarter of a million pounds
- Shops offered free phone charging so people could stay in touch
Roger Moore passed away today. One of my favourite memories is watching him in 'The Spy Who Loved Me' in a packed cinema in Krefeld, Germany. In the opening scene, he escapes his pursuers by skiing off a cliff. The moment his parachute opened as a large Union Jack, A roar of laughter rose from the crowd, which then burst out in spontaneous applause!
