Ed Sheeran has thrown his backing behind a fundraising drive for victims of the Manchester Arena terror attack.

The Shape Of You singer called the bombing “truly heartbreaking” as he urged people to donate to the We Love Manchester emergency fund.

Almost £6 million has been raised since the atrocity through the British Red Cross, Manchester Evening News and Manchester City Council joint appeal.

In a video posted by the Red Cross, Ed said: “The attack on Manchester was truly heartbreaking but since then Manchester, Britain and the world have come together.

“Please join me and give what you can today.”

The money raised will be administered by the Red Cross, which is offering support to affected families.
