PEOPLE of all faiths and political beliefs came together on Wednesday, to remember those who died in last week's horrific bomb attack.

At least 22 people were killed, including children, and many more were injured when a suicide bomber targetted the Manchester Arena on May 22.

At a service in Haverfordwest, local politicians, councillors, representatives from the town's schools and community groups, and members of the public united to pay their respects.

Rev Nick Cale led the service, with Imam Mohammed Wahid among those in attendance, representing Haverfordwest mosque.

Holding back tears, Mayor of Haverfordwest Cllr Alan Buckfield called the bombing of a concert where so many children were in attendance a "cowardly attack on our future generation".

“The joys of childhood, the hopes and dreams and aspirations for a long and fulfilled life, extinguished by a moment of cruel, obscene violence," he said.

“Our hearts bleed for those families trying to come to terms with and understand their loss.”

He praised the "remarkable" response of emergency services, and "all those ordinary men and women" who had come together to assist in the wake of this extreme event.

"It shows we are a humane race and will not be cowed by cowards," he said.

Also in attendance were members of Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service's ceremonial colour party - made up serving and retired firefighters.

Firefighter Jim Lewis, from Haverfordwest, said: “All emergency services are part of one big family, so it was humbling to be able to pay our respects.

“We are the emergency services, but we’re only human at end of day.

“Such a large loss of young life is terribly sad."
