On Sunday night a fundraising concert was held in Manchester to help the families and victims affected by the attack on the Ariana Grande concert on the 22nd of May.
During the One Love Manchester event Ariana Grande was joined by Little Mix, Miley Cyrus, Pharrell Williams, Niall Horan, Katy Perry, Liam Gallagher, Marcus Mumford, Imogen Heap, Take That, Robbie Williams, Justin Bieber, Black Eyed Peas and Coldplay.
However it was during Justin Bieber's performance that our attention was on the crowd, where a police officer could be seen dancing with young girls who had attended the concert.
The policeman, who has now been named as PC Paul Taylor from the Durham Police, has recorded a video explaining how the moment that warmed our hearts came to be.
He explained how he was approached by two girls around 7 and 8-years-old who first asked for a picture before coming back and asking for a dance.
PC Taylor went on to explain how it's all about interacting with the public, which he was happy to do as he's a "family man". He continued, "If I can put a smile on people's faces then I'm more than happy to do that and I hope I've achieve that."
Paul, you certainly did!
The concert was dedicated to those who tragically lost their lives at the Ariana Grande concert.
Alison Howe, Angelika Klis, Chloe Rutherford, Eilidh MacLeod, Elaine McIver, Georgina Callander, Jane Tweddle, John Atkinson, Kelly Brewster, Liam Curry, Lisa Lees, Marcin Klis, Martyn Hett, Megan Hurley, Michelle Kiss, Nell Jones, Olivia Campbell-Hardy, Saffie Roussos, Sorrell Leczkowski, Wendy Fawell, Courtney Boyle and Philip Tron.
Ariana Grande put on an incredible show which has reportedly raised over ÂŁ10 million so far.
The fund will support people who have been injured or bereaved by the attack. The donations will help alleviate suffering and ensure that victims and their families do not face short-term financial difficulties. Care will be taken to prioritise those in the most urgent need. Manchester City Council are establishing a charity to deliver the funds.

The 'One Last Time' singer posted a clip of her performance of 'Better Days' on Instagram.
