A BOOK of condolences has opened at St Asaph Cathedral in memory of those who died in the Manchester attack. 

The book will allow people to pen their thoughts and prayers for everyone affected by the attack in the city. 

On Monday, 22 people were killed and more than 60 injured when after suspected suicide bomber, 22-year-old Salman Abedi, detonated a home-made device at the Ariana Grande pop concert in Manchester Arena. The attacker died at the scene. 

The Dean of the Cathedral, the Very Reverend Nigel Williams was joined by the mayor and Deputy mayor of St Asaph to open the book.

He said: "A book of condolences has been opened to stand with the people of Manchester and support them in the work of unity which is a hallmark of their city."

Councillor Colin Hardie, mayor of St Asaph City Council, added: "The city of St Asaph is praying for the community of Greater Manchester at this time."

The Dean will deliver the Book of Condolences to the Dean of Manchester Cathedral.
