'Greatest tribute to victims is solidarity': Manchester responds to synagogue attack
The area of north Manchester in which the synagogue attack happened has long been home to various faith communities who live, work and worship alongside each other in what has been described as " unapologetic diversity ".
Speaking after the deaths of worshippers Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz on Thursday, leaders at Heaton Park Synagogue said they had been "strengthened by the countless expressions of solidarity that have poured in".
They added the "greatest tribute to the memory of Adrian and Melvin would be for communities right across the country to come together in peace and solidarity".
People in the area have been reflecting upon what happened and sharing their hopes and concerns moving forwards.
Anna Bergson, who is married to a rabbi and whose children attend Jewish schools, said at a local vigil on Friday that antisemitic hatred had been "brewing" before the attack.
"You could feel it in the air that something terrible was going to happen - it was just a question of when," she said.
"So we've never been fully relaxed, we've always been on our guard and now it's happened and it's just very surreal."
Upon hearing about what had happened, Shelley Ferster said it felt like being "punched in the stomach and [feeling that] everybody hates you".
