British newspapers have scrambled to update their final editions with news of the Manchester Arena attack, which broke late on Monday night.
Not all of them managed to get their late editions onto Twitter, but those that did all splashed on the terror in Manchester.
The Manchester Evening News’s front page declared “Terror at the Arena” alongside a picture of an injured concertgoer being helped by paramedics.

The Daily Mirror went further, bumping news of Theresa May’s “dementia tax” U-turn out of the splash to make way for “19 dead in pop concert ‘suicide bomb’”.
