Ariana Grande to be made honorary citizen of Manchester after One Love concert

Ariana Grande is to become an honorary citizen of Manchester after organizing a concert to raise funds for victims of the terror attack in the city.

Councillors are expected to meet on Wednesday to agree to award the distinction after the pop singer’s involvement in the hastily put-together One Love benefit concert.

The 23-year-old is to be recognised for her efforts in organising the charity concert at Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground, which featured Coldplay, Justin Bieber and Katy Perry.

The One Love concert raised over £12 million for the victims and their families.

Manchester City Council is looking to recognise those who have made contributions to the city.

The meeting is due to begin at 10am at Manchester Town Hall.
