Earlier this week, tragedy struck Manchester after a suicide bomber set off an explosion at an Ariana Grande concert. The attack left 22 dead and 59 injured. Today (May 25), a group gathered at the city's St. Ann's Square to remember those who passed away, and a particularly powerful moment occurred with an impromptu cover of the iconic Oasis song "Don't Look Back in Anger."

According to the Guardian, the singalong was sparked by Lydia Bernsmeier-Rullow, who started belting out the 1995 tune by the Manchester band after a moment of silence.  

"We can't be looking backwards to what happened, we have to look forward to the future," she said. "We all joined together and we're all going to get on with it because that's what Manchester does."

The members of Oasis have also got involved in mourning those lost in the bombing. Liam Gallagher tweeted, "In total shock and absolutely devastated about what's gone down in MANCHESTER sending Love and Light to all the family's involved."

Noel, meanwhile, shared a link to the singalong and sent out his love to Mancunians.
