One Love Manchester: Some final images from the nightpublished at 23:16 BST 4 June 2017
Before we go here are a few more pictures from on stage over the night, namely Take That, Miley, Pharrell and Robbie.
Fans reactions to the showpublished at 23:10 BST 4 June 2017
While the audience for the gig in Manchester was huge globally, the show was about those 14,000 ticketholders who attended Ariana's original concert on 22 May, the 22 victims who didn't make it home and their families and those injured in the suicide bombing.
Here are some of the fans who made a trip back to see the singer, less than a fortnight after that attack.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow is the final song at One Love Manchester
Some people watching the One Love Manchester event may never have heard an Ariana Grande song before tonight but this was a serious special way to end the show.
Unbelievable to think it's taken just over a week to pull together.

Ariana Grande has invited the entire cast of tonight's astonishing, moving show back on stage to join her in a rendition of One Last Time.
The song - from her 2014 album My Everything - became the unofficial anthem of fans following the terror attack on 22 May. In the UK, the single re-entered the charts at number 11, considerably higher than it's original peak of 24.
Although it was originally written about the end of a relationship, the lyrics have become symbolic of Ariana's bond with her fans, and as a farewell to the people who lost their lives in Manchester: "So, one last time, I need to be the one who takes you home."
Shortly before tonight's concert, the star announced One Last Time would be re-released as a benefit track on iTunes.
All proceeds from the song's sales will go to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.

Noel Gallagher...published at 22:03 BST 4 June 2017
...isn't here.
Not on stage anyway (much to a lot of people's disappointment below).
So in his stead Chris Martin took on the role of Noel for the falsetto bit in Live Forever, which Liam dedicated to "the beautiful people" who lost their lives.
Liam proves once again that he has the finest collection of cagouls on the planet, sporting a burnt orange number.

Coldplay serenade Ariana Grande with their take on Don't Look Back in Anger
Say what you like about Coldplay, they know what to do in front of a giant crowd.
This is a big-hearted, multi-coloured hug of a set. Fix You is the obvious choice, Chris Martin's fragile optimism matching the mood of Manchester; while Viva La Vida is simultaneously fervent and hymnal (not an easy feat to pull off). Whatever the lyrics mean - and I'm still not sure - the song simply brings the crowd together.
The big confetti cannons and Chris Martin's eager puppy showmanship make this one of the standout performances in a night of standout performances.

Liam Gallagher lives his life in the citehhhhhhhhhhh...but we didn't know he was gonna be in this city tonight. Not officially anyway.
The rumours (for once) turned out to be true as Liam Gallagher is in the place blasting out another Oasis classic for the crowd.
He came on stage to a speech by former world boxing champion Muhammad Ali and burst straight into Rock 'n' Roll Star.
Come on Noel, any chance?

Katy Perry was one of the many voices tonight calling for unity and asked for human contact between fans.
"The person next to you, look in their eyes and say I love you," she told the crowd.
Cue slightly awkward moment in the Music News Live office...

Newsbeat have been out in the crowd and speaking to the fans in attendance.
Jasmine and Lydia came to support families while And Molly was at the Ariana Grande gig two weeks ago and "wanted to come for closure".
"We aren't scared and we're going to continue with our lives."
Ariana's mum hugs the fanspublished at 21:32 BST 4 June 2017
Joan Grande has been making her way through the crowd - stopping of course for hugs and photos with fans.
She said her daughter was “incredibly” brave, adding: “She’s an amazing girl..."
She then quickly corrected herself: "...Woman”.
Awww, we guess she'll always be her baby.
