“Go out and enjoy your favourite singers and bands. Don't be afraid. Dance until you’re dizzy.”

In the wake of Britain’s deadliest terrorist attack in over a decade, people are joining together on social media to share messages of defiance, hope and joy.

Last night, a bomb tore through the foyer of Manchester Arena shortly after an Ariana Grande concert finished, killing 22 people and leaving more than 50 injured. Described by Theresa May as a “cowardly attack on innocent people” carried out with “sickening cowardice”, it was a moment that left the world reeling.

And as messages of love and condolence for the city and its victims continue to sweep social media, a chorus of Twitter users are standing united against terrorism.
