Queen Elizabeth II visited a children’s hospital in Manchester, England, on Thursday to meet with children who survived Monday’s bombing at an Ariana Grande concert.
Donning a blue coat and orange hat, the queen also met with nurses and doctors at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.

The queen condemned the deadly attack in a statement earlier this week.
“I know I speak for everyone in expressing my deepest sympathy to all who have been affected by this dreadful event and especially to the families and friends of those who have died or were injured,” she said Tuesday.
The United Kingdom held a national moment of silence for victims of the terror attack, and British Prime Minister Theresa May raised the U.K. threat level to “critical.”
Monday’s attack at the Manchester Arena left 22 people dead and dozens injured.
Police identified Salman Abedi as the suicide bomber, and arrested at least six people in connection with the attack, including Abedi’s father and brother.
