Ariana Grande’s manager Scooter Braun has shared a moving video of crowds of people singing Robbie Williams’ single Strong after the One Love Manchester concert.

The video shows hundreds of people joining in to sing the 1998 hit as they left the Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground on Sunday night.

Braun shared the emotional video on Instagram, which he said gave him “chills”. He also praised the “true bravery” of Mancunians.

He wrote: “After the show this was the spirit of the crowd on their way out. ‘Manchester we're strong. We're Strong. We're strong. We are still singing our songs..our songs. Our songs!!!’

“Chills. True bravery in the face of evil!! Bravo. I will never forget.”

Williams performed Strong at the concert, which also played host to Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Niall Horan, Justin Bieber and Liam Gallagher among others, but changed the lyrics for the city.

He sang: “Manchester we’re strong, we’re strong, we’re strong, we’re still singing our songs, our songs.”

The star-studded event was organised by Grande to raise money for the victims and families affected by the terror attack at her Dangerous Woman concert on May 22.

Twenty two people were killed and dozens injured when suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated an explosive at Manchester’s MEN arena.

Braun praised Grande for returning to the city to visit the victims and raising money for the “We Love Manchester Emergency Fund”.

He posted: “So proud of you @arianagrande . One of the most courageous people I have ever known. Fear cannot win.”

Braun's praise comes hours after Piers Morgan deemed Grande “admirable” and issued an apology after he criticised her for flying home a day after the devastating attack.

“I misjudged you, @ArianaGrande and I apologise,” he posted. “You're an admirable young woman and this is a magnificent night. Respect.”

A peak audience of 14.5 million people tuned in to watch the concert which was aired live on BBC One and streamed globally online.

A total of £2 million was donated during the three-hour event.
