DOZENS of pink balloons filled the sky to pay tribute to the victims of the Manchester Arena attack on Sunday.

More than 100 people turned out at Mosley Arms in Red Lane, Breightmet, to let off pink balloons in remembrance of the victims of last week’s attack.

Salman Abedi detonated a bomb in the foyer of the arena after an Ariana Grande concert, killing 22 on Monday, May 22.

Chelsea Gledhill, aged 26, from Breightmet, and her sisters Gemma Gledhill, aged 31, and Sammi Gledhill, aged 28, organised the fundraiser and raised £250 to donate towards the family of Bury victim, Olivia Campbell-Hardy, aged 15.

Samantha Hodkinson, 22, also set the event up on Facebook and got the balloons organised.

Chelsea, who owns a clothing boutique, said: “We felt like Olivia's family was closest to home so we felt like we needed to do our bit to help her family out at this sad time.

“We want them to know that we may not be their friends or neighbours but we all stand together when something as bad as this happens.

“We wanted to let them know that they’re not on their own and that we're all there for them.

“This was all we could really do for them, raise money to help the family out.

“I'd hope that if I was in this situation that people would come forward and help me out as it's not an easy thing to be going through so the last thing they need is money worries.

"We want to say thanks to everyone that came down and donated."

Chelsea has arranged to deliver the money to Olivia’s parents, Charlotte Campbell and step-dad Paul Hodgson, herself.
