Chloe, 17 and Liam, 19, were among the 22 people who tragically lost their lives in the Manchester Arena bomb attack in May 2017.

Each year, on May 22, they are remembered on what has become known as Pink and Blue Day, where the borough unites in wearing the colours associated with the pair.

This year marks the third anniversary since the attack and once again the community came together to honour the lives of the much-loved pair.

Simonside children Liam Ford, 11, Emily Foord, 15 and Tommy Ford, 13, decorated their home to mark the third anniversary.
