The world’s tallest building was among those to be lit up in tribute to those who lost their lives.

The Burj Khalifa in Dubai – the world’s tallest building – was one of many renowned structures to be lit up in tribute to those who lost their lives in Manchester on Monday night.

The Manchester Arena was a scene of devastation as 22 people were murdered by Salman Abedi, a Mancunian of Libyan descent, after an Ariana Grande concert. 59 people were injured.

Worldwide landmarks displayed the Union Jack in tribute.
