Ariana Grande's One Love Manchester charity gig may have had a star-studded line up, but for many it was a policeman who stole the show.
A video posted on social media shows the cop dancing and-in-hand with young girls as Justin Bieber performed to the 50,000 fans in Old Trafford for the event.
The footage was seen as particularly moving in the wake on the terror attack which killed seven in London on Saturday night, with Twitter users claiming the incident showed the best of Britain.
Mike Sullivan summed the heartwarming moment up as "British spirit captured in six seconds".
While another added: "That sums up what's good about Britain. An on duty police officer happily dancing with kids, making them happy at a difficult time. Perfect."
A third user called for the footage to be shared globally, to show those who try to attack Britain that "we won't be bullied into submission."
Other Twitter users praised the unnamed officer, with one saying he "sums up what's good about Britain.
"An on duty police officer happily dancing with kids, making them happy at a difficult time. Perfect."
While Beth Powell simply said she was: "Completely in love with this man".
Many users took the opportunity to praise cops, with one writing: "God bless our police."
The concert went ahead in spite of the terror atrocity on London Bridge last night, when terrorists used a van to mow down pedestrians on the bridge at 50mph.
Wearing stab-proof vests, the three men then fled the vehicle and began knifing people in Borough Market's pubs and restaurants at random.
Regardless of the horrific attack, thousands turned out to enjoy the charity gig, which raised money for the 22 victims of the bombing at Ariana Grande's gig in the city two weeks ago via the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.
Marcus Mumford of Mumford and Sons opened the charity concert with a minute's silence in memory of the victims of both massacres.
