'It's a place we all love' - Beckham in heartfelt Manchester message

The former England captain could not make the One Love concert but recorded an emotional message for those in attendance

David Beckham sent a heartfelt message to those attending the One Love Manchester concert, arranged by Ariana Grande, at Old Trafford cricket ground on Sunday, urging them to celebrate the spirit of the English city.

Two weeks ago a terrorist attack at the Manchester Arena, where Grande was performing, claimed the lives of 22 people, including children.

Grande subsequently decided to hold the concert this weekend to honour those lost, and the gig went ahead despite another atrocity in London 24 hours prior.
