These are the faces of the 22 people who were killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up at an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena one year ago today.

Teenagers, parents who had gone to pick up their children and an off-duty police officer were among the victims of Salman Abedi's May 22 attack.

The youngest victim of the Manchester arena bombing was eight years old.

Hundreds were injured in the attack after Abedi, 22, detonated his device as people were exiting the concert.

The world will fall silent today as a mark of respect for those killed and memorials will be held in Manchester and across the UK.

These are the faces of those who lost their lives:
