The people of Manchester have yet to grieve fully for the 22 people murdered by an Islamist suicide bomber, the Bishop of Salford has said.

Public displays of resilience and defiance risked “throwing a blanket” over a deeper desire to mourn for the victims of the attack on the Manchester Arena, said Bishop John Arnold.

He said that besides the dead and 59 injured, tens of thousands of others were badly affected by the attack carried out by Salman Ramadan Abedi, a 22-year-old Manchester Muslim, at a concert by the American singer Ariana Grande.
