Coronation Street cast support I Love MCR campaign

Members of the Coronation Street cast have joined the new  ‘I Love MCR’ campaign, launched after last week's rioting.

Antony Cotton, who plays Sean Tully, said: "I love Manchester – always have and always will.  Last week was one of the saddest and darkest moments in its history. But what we learned was, as if we needed reminding, that the breaking glass and wailing sirens will never drown out the proud beating heart of this amazing city – the greatest city in the world."

Sacha Parkinson – Sian Powers – added: "I love the way people come together in Manchester. There’s a real sense of community. The spirit we’ve seen from people after the riots sums up what the real Manchester is about. That’s what makes us proud to be from Manchester."
