The Funds Raised By The 'One Love' Concert Now Total Almost £10million

The amount raised by yesterday's One Love Manchester is still rising but it looks like the total is now close to £10million.

Earlier in the day, before the show began, the organisation tweeted that its Manchester Emergency Fund had already reached $9million (£7.3million).

That brings the total raised to more than $12million (about £9.6million).

"Well, the fantastic news is we've already raised around £7million [or around $9million]," chief executive Mike Adamson told the AP overnight. "And we expect to raise another £1.5million from ticket sales tonight and then further funding from the TV rights and merchandising. So, we're really looking to an appeal that's going to move towards £10million."

The fund will help alleviate immediate suffering and ensure victims and their families do not face short-term financial difficulties, according to the British Red Cross.
