Apart from taxi drivers offering free rides, several hotels and venues in the city centre were also reported to be offering space for those stranded in the city centre.

At least 22 people, including several children were killed and 59 others were injured after a suicide bomber blew himself up as thousands of fans were exiting US star Ariana Grande's pop concert in Manchester.

Terror group Islamic State has reportedly claimed the responsibility behind the deadly attack.
