Just moments before the monarch’s arrival, staff stood together for a moment’s silence before breaking into spontaneous applause.
Inside, doctors and nurses paused their duties and stood on balconies overlooking the main reception.
Twelve children under the age of 16 – among the 64 casualties – were taken to the hospital by ambulance following the terror attack.
Prime Minister Theresa May visited the hospital on Tuesday afternoon.
