Iconic landmarks around the world have been illuminated in the colours of the union jack to show solidarity following the Manchester attack.

Twenty-two people were killed and 64 injured when a suicide bomber attacked concertgoers at Manchester Arena on Tuesday night.

Images of major landmarks from around the world lit up in red, white and blue were shared on social media to pay tribute to the victims of the attack.

Geneva's Jet d'Eau fountain was among several landmarks to change colour.

The world's tallest tower - Burj Khalifa - also stood out in among the Dubai skyline in the union jack colours. Many of Dubai's residents are foreign expats, including British nationals.

One Twitter account said that Burj Khalifa was presenting a "powerful message". In Abu Dhabi, the Sheikh Zayed Bridge was also lit up.
