Throughout the week, after the hideousness of Monday night, many things have become apparent. Sport, and sporting events, have played a part as a focus and guidance during this tragedy. The emotion and comforting routine of training and participation have helped enormously.
Manchester United football club would have swapped their trophies in a heartbeat, if that would have prevented this happening. Manchester City football club provided a safe haven and communication point for relatives, friends, victims. The Manchester Run will continue as planned. Sporting events worldwide have honoured the tragedy with silence and respect. Moments to pause and reflect.
This recognition is well needed right now.
