POLICE will be reviewing security measures in light of last night's terror attack in Manchester.

A joint statement has been released by the Chief Constable for West Mercia Police, Anthony Bangham, and the Chief Constable for Warwickshire Police, Martin Jelley.

They said: "Last night's atrocity at the Manchester Arena has shocked and saddened us all and the thoughts of the officers, staff, special constables and volunteers within West Mercia Police and Warwickshire Police are with those affected.

"It has been heart-warming to see the people of Manchester come together to support each other and the emergency services. It is testimony to the overwhelming power of community spirit.

"Across the counties that we serve we regularly review our security measures and we will be doing this again today to ensure that all is being done to keep you and your families safe.

"It remains vital that the police and the public work together to combat terrorism." 

Herefordshire Council will be flying its flags at half-mast on council buildings today as a mark of respect to those who died in last night's horrific terrorist attack in Manchester.
