ABU Dhabi is one of the many places worldwide showing solidarity with Britain after the terrorist attack that claimed 22 lives in Manchester Arena on Monday night.

It was sent to Cllr Janet Reed, of Wellington, whose daughter is a teacher there.

Cllr John Williams said: "It brings back memories for me as I worked there for two years.

"It always was a great place to live and there was a tremendous bond of friendship with the Abu Dhabi people which obviously persists to this day."
