The front pages of Wednesday’s British newspapers have been released and it is no surprise that each is dominated by coverage of Monday night’s terror attack in Manchester.

Some, including the Guardian, the Times, the Sun and the Daily Express, juxtapose coverage of the victims with their killer, to differing extents.


The Manchester Evening News, the i paper and the Daily Mirror, as well as Metro and Scotland’s the National, focus primarily on the city of Manchester and the victims of the bombing it suffered.

Yet more titles lead on the news that the threat level has been raised and that there will likely be troops on Britain’s streets in the coming days, as well as memorialising the victims.

While the Financial Times focuses primarily on Salman Abedi and his background.
