The '˜Beedazzle artwork, by Maria Shrigley, was one of more than 100 giant bee sculptures which appeared around Manchester in memory of those killed in the atrocity in May last year.

It was purchased at auction and brought to Sheffield thanks largely to a fundraising appeal led by 13-year-old Amelia Thompson, of Dronfield Woodhouse, who survived the attack, and her friend Darcie Parke, aged 14.

Dawn Proctor wrote: 'It's a beautiful sculpture. I saw it last night.'

Kerry Bowling commented: 'Amazing. It's so so nice.'

And Jean Hill said: 'We have seen the bees in Manchester. They are great.'
