Elder Patrick Kearon, Europe Area President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, expresses condolences to the victims of the Manchester explosion.

"Our hearts are filled with sorrow as we hear of the devastating violence in Manchester, where young people and their parents had gathered to enjoy an evening of music and entertainment. Our thoughts and prayers reach out to those who are suffering as a result of these tragic events. May the love of God and of decent people – demonstrated by spontaneous acts of kindness towards victims – heal hearts and provide comfort."
