Among them were Linda Tipping, 50, and Laura Mayren, 26, from Chorley, who both sported Ariana Grande’s signature bunny ears as they said they were determined to enjoy themselves in spite of some trepidation.

Ms Tipping said: “I’m nervous. Everything has made me nervous. I thought about not coming after last night.

“But friends said ‘don’t be stupid, enjoy yourself and don’t think about it’ .

“We can’t let them stop us.”

Ms Mayren added: “You only live once. Our friend lost her niece, Saffie Rose (Roussos).

“We wanted to be here to show our support.

“It’s going to be amazing in there, we are one.”
