As Manchester paid tribute last night to the victims of Monday's suicide bombing, so did the rest of the world.

22 people were killed and 64 injured in the attack, which took place at the end of US pop star Ariana Grande's concert at the Manchester Arena.

Replicating previous tributes following terror attacks, iconic monuments in Europe and across the globe were illuminated with the Union Jack, in solidarity with Manchester.

Here's how the world reacted to Monday's terror attack:
