    People around the world have been paying tribute to the victims of a terrorist attack in Manchester on Monday that left 22 people dead and many more seriously injured.

    As news of his death was confirmed yesterday, tributes began pouring in on social media, including from celebrities like Nick Grimshaw, who said Martyn "made [him] laugh every day".
