It's been 12 hours and we don't know much, so odd. Not even the usual crazy speculation and fake perpetrator names and faces.

Yeah it is a bit odd.

Doesn't mean much. Especially until more is known about the perpetrator.

I '**** sake'd for a number of reasons. One of them is ISIS claiming every **** attack.

A rough sleeper has tearfully described the moment a woman died in his arms from the explosion set off as fans left the Manchester Arena.

At the time of the blast Chris Parker, 33, was in the foyer area of the venue where he regularly goes to beg for money as concert crowds head home.

He recalled: "Everyone was piling out, all happy and everything else. As people were coming out of the glass doors I heard a bang and within a split second I saw a white flash, then smoke and then I heard screaming.

"It knocked me to the floor and then I got up and instead of running away my gut instinct was to run back and try and help.

"There was people lying on the floor everywhere.

"I saw a little girl ... she had no legs. I wrapped her in one of the merchandise T-shirts and I said 'where is your mum and daddy?' She said 'my dad is at work, my mum is up there'."

He said he thought the child's mother had died from her injuries.

Mr Parker, who has slept rough in the city for about a year, said he also tended to a woman aged in her 60s who was badly hurt from the bombing with serious leg and head injuries.

He said: "She passed away in my arms. She was in her 60s and said she had been with her family.

"I haven't stopped crying.

"The most shocking part of it is that it was a kids' concert.

"There were nuts and bolts all over the floor. People had holes in their back.

"It's the screams I can't get over and the smell ... I don't like to say it but it smelled like burning flesh.

"I don't think anything has sunk in yet. It's just shock."

Just **** awful.

Not really, if they are actively looking for people then keeping a tight hold on what does go into the public domain is important and sensible. 

Last night most of info being made public (numbers of casualties, suicide bomber etc) was coming from US outlets, meaning US agencies were leaking briefings from UK authorities straight to US media even though UK media weren't being briefed. 

Poor form from our US partners, guess they are taking a lead from their boss just now.

As a parent with a daughter I feel a little bit broken today, how any faith can justify taking the lives of young people with minds about as open and honest as you could find is beyond comprehension.

My thoughts are with everyone who has been caught up in this and hope that the injured recover from their physical and mental scars.
