Cities Around the World Are Honoring Manchester in This Touching Way

As the world grieves for the lives lost in the deadly terror attack outside of an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, on May 22, people are showing their true colors in the aftermath. People are rising up from the most unexpected places to lend a helping hand and support those affected, even from halfway around the world. To show love for the city of Manchester, monuments worldwide are lighting up (or going dark) in solidarity.

In Paris, the Eiffel Tower — which usually glitters at night with bright lights — was declared dark for the evening of May 23.

Tonight, at midnigth, I will turn my lights off to pay tribute to the victims of the Manchester attack. #EiffelTower pic.twitter.com/ezVpL32BoZ
