CRC holds a minute’s silence for victims of Manchester bombing

Hundreds of students and staff at Cambridge Regional College held a minute’s silence today to remember the victims of the Manchester bombing.

Classes were adjourned and students gathered together in the centre of the college to express their support and sadness for the families suffering after the attack on Manchester Arena.

Principal Mark Robertson, who addressed the students, said the tragedy was truly unspeakable.

“Thank you for gathering here today to express our solidarity and intense sadness around the events in Manchester. The tragedy which has affected these young people and their families is truly unspeakable,” he told students.

“The people of Manchester have come together to support each other – people from all walks of life, of all religions and of no religion, who offered their homes and taxi rides. That is the best of Britain; that is who we are and we will never, ever give our lives over to fear, hatred and despair.”
