Tributes are being made to the victims of the Manchester bombing on the second anniversary of the attack.
Twenty-two people were killed and hundreds injured in the 2017 suicide bombing at Manchester Arena.
Many people marked the anniversary on Twitter with #OneLoveManchester #WeStandTogether and #ManchesterRemembers all trending.
A low-key memorial service will take place at St Ann's Church later, the city council said.
The "personal and private event" for families and emergency services will take place from 14:00 BST.
The church is in St Ann's Square, which became a focal point for tributes.
Last year a larger service was held at Manchester Cathedral, attended by Prince William and Prime Minister Theresa May, with well-wishers gathered outside to watch on large screens.
A musical event was also held and speeches made in the city's Albert Square.
South Korean pop band Blackpink, who performed at Manchester Arena on Tuesday, dedicated their song "Stay" to the victims and their families, saying: "Our hearts ache for those who lost their loved ones."
A Manchester City Council spokesman said this year's anniversary would be marked with a "more intimate" commemoration.
Manchester Cathedral will also be open throughout the day for people to "spend some time in quiet reflection and prayer".
Suicide bomber Salman Abedi, 22, detonated a home-made device at the end of an Ariana Grande concert at the arena as children and adults began leaving the venue.
The exact moment of the blast, 22:31, will once again see bells peal across the city centre.
Among the relatives expected to attend the memorial service is Figen Murray, whose son Martyn Hett, 29, died in the atrocity,
She is lobbying the government to make tougher security checks mandatory at large events.
She has also been visiting schools to speak to pupils about her experiences.
"I talk to them about kindness, tolerance and forgiveness and the dangers of radicalisation," she said.
The parents of victims Chloe Rutherford, 17, and Liam Curry, 19, from South Shields, in Tyneside, said they would be marking the occasion privately.
They have raised £300,000 to help aspiring performers and sportsmen and women.
Caroline Curry, whose son had taken coaching qualifications, said: "I brought Liam into the world and because he's not here now, and won't have grandchildren to follow on his name, then it's up to me to make sure he hasn't left this world without making a mark."
Tara O'Neil, from Flixton, who was among those at the Ariana Grande concert that night, was not physically injured but was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
She told BBC Radio Manchester: "You feel guilty. That you ran and you didn't stop, but you would have got trampled.
"My body subconsciously reacted the same way every single day as it did when I left the arena. I was sick, vomiting.
"You feel like you can't breathe… Like you're drowning on your own air… it doesn't matter what you do or what anyone says to you, until your own body stops responding to what it thinks is a threat."
She said she used singing as her therapy and two years on her symptoms had "gone down" but she has severe anxiety, and had to leave her job.
