Two terrorist attacks in the past three weeks have shocked Britain, leaving 30 dead and scores injured, adding to the mayhem of an earlier attack in London back in March.

How should we react? For North England Conference (NEC) Pathfinders the response was simple and spontaneous. A week after the 23 May suicide bombing at the end of an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, the Pathfinders led a wreath-laying ceremony close to the site of the attack.

Pastor Ikwisa Mwasumbi, NEC Pathfinder director, led the ceremonial together with the NEC Advanced Drill team, the Midlands Drum corps, members of the Manchester North Church and several local Pastors.
