Headline: Duke And Duchess Of Cambridge Attend Opening Of The Glade Of Light Memorial

Caption: The Duke of Cambridge and Duchess of Cambridge attend the opening of the Glade of Light Memorial in Manchester. The memorial commemorates the victims of the 22nd of May 2017 terrorist attack at Manchester Arena. It honours the 22 people whose lives were taken, as well as remembering everyone who was left injured or affected. The memorial is located alongside Manchester Cathedral and was designed following an international design competition. A white marble ‘halo’ ring heart, with the names of those who lost their lives in bronze upon it. Personalised memory capsules, filled with memories and mementoes of them provided by loved ones, have been embedded within the stone. The Glade of Light was designed to be a living memorial, a tranquil garden space for remembrance and reflection. Their Royal Highnesses will attend a service taking place alongside the memorial where the Duke will make some brief remarks. Their Royal Highnesses will then take a short walk around the memorial garden and Her Royal Highness will lay some flowers. They will then join a private reception inside Manchester Cathedral to speak to some of the bereaved families and those involved in the response effort.
