The Late Late Show host and fellow Briton, James Corden sent out a heartfelt message to the victims of the bombing that took place in Manchester on Monday night.

The host received the news while he had been taping his popular TV show in Los Angeles. Watch his heartfelt message above.

In a video recording he tweeted out to his followers, James said: “It shocks me every time we hear this sort of news, that attacks like this can happen. But, especially when there will be so many children at this concert tonight.”

He went on to praise Manchester as a city saying: “It’s famous all over the world for so many wonderful things – great football teams, Man City and Man United. It’s famous for incredible music – Oasis and Joy Division. It was the birthplace of the leader of the Suffragettes. It’s the home of the inventor of the first computer.”

Most of all, James honoured the people of Manchester and said: “Strong, proud, caring people with community at its core. And if was even possible the spirit of the people of Manchester will grow even stronger this evening.”

James continued: “My prayers are with everyone in Manchester tonight. The staff at the MEN Arena, the security teams, all the emergency services, Ariana and her team and all of those families affected by tonight.”
