Diolch, Deputy Presiding Officer. John Atkinson, Courtney Boyle, Philip Tron, Kelly Brewster, Georgina Callander, Olivia Campbell-Hardy, Liam Curry, Chloe Rutherford, Wendy Fawell, Martyn Hett, Alison Howe, Lisa Lees, Megan Hurley, Nell Jones, Michelle Kiss, Angelika Klis, Marcin Klis, Sorrell Leczkowski, Eilidh MacLeod, Elaine McIver, Saffie Rose Roussos and Jane Tweddle: they were the 22 innocent people who were tragically killed at the Manchester Arena attack a year ago yesterday; 22 people who decided to go to the concert to have a good time. Some of my friends were actually at that concert, but they were fortunate enough to return home to their families that evening; others were not. I'm sure, whilst I'm standing here, I speak for everyone in this Chamber when I say to the families of those that lost their loved ones that evening that we do stand with you, and our wholehearted sympathies are with you during this difficult time. 

Deputy Llywydd, Wales will remember them, and, in the words of Liam Gallagher, the 22 will live forever. Diolch.
