The world mourned with Manchester earlier this week when singer, Ariana Grande, stood on stage at a tribute concert in the same city that was affected by the attack last month. Not too far off, school girls laid flowers at a vigil held to commemorate the victims of another terror attack on London Bridge and Borough Market.

In India, children gathered around a candle-lit vigil as part of a “Save Trees” awareness campaign days after World Environment Day. In China, people bowed their heads in remembrance of the victims of the bloody Tiananmen Square crackdown 28 years ago.
