In the wake of Monday’s horrific bombing in Manchester, England, at an Ariana Grande concert – which took the lives of 22 people – the Burj Khalifa was lit up with a Union Flag last night.

“Dubai stands in solidarity with the UK tonight. Brilliant from the Burj Khalifa. What a powerful message,” one Instagram user wrote.

And it’s not the only UAE monument to have been lit up, many sites around the capital were illuminated in red, white and blue, including the Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium.
