The benefit concert comes together in the days after the bombing at Ariana Grande's Manchester Arena show.

Proceeds go to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund for the victims and their families, established by the city and the British Red Cross. Security is tighter than planned following the London Bridge attack the day before, and attendees are asked to leave their bags behind. A minute's silence opens the evening, and the show goes out live on BBC One.
