Last night’s vigil in Sackville gardens was awesome. I arrived at 6:30 and there were about 300 people crowded near the monuments but people just kept coming in. In total I would say there was easily over 2000 people there, maybe close to to 2500.
My friend turned up at 7:20 and she said the queue to get in was all the way up to Bloom Street and all the way to the Eagle.
In all my years of going to vigils and memorials I have never seen the gardens this full.
The vigil speakers were amazing but as was said many times, we have come together to remember a life which should not have been lost.
I hope that all the people who where there last night spread the word of what happened.
The media were there as well last night and I have noticed all the photos used of Manchester have either been zoomed in or cropped. Possibly to not show how many people were there.
So here’s mine so you can see how many people attended.
RIP Brianna Ghey
