People wiped away tears as Elgar's Nimrod was played in the packed and sombre square.
Performance poet Tony Walsh roused the northern city's pride with a defiant message.
At the dignified gathering the crowds ended the official ceremony with chants of "Manchester, Manchester".
At a nearby square, flowers were laid at a monument as people wiped away tears as they listened to a cellist playing nearby. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
