Cannes festival holds moment of silence for Manchester

CANNES, France (AP) — The Cannes Film Festival paused Tuesday for a moment of silence to honor the victims of the attack at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England.

In a statement, festival organizers called Monday's blast "yet another attack on culture, youth and joyfulness, on our freedom, generosity and tolerance, all things that the Festival and those who make it possible — the artists, professionals and spectators — hold dear."

Nice, where a cargo truck last July plowed through crowds, killing 86 people, is just 20 miles away.
