Thousands of Parisians have paid their respects and tributes to those who were killed in last week’s terrorist attacks by taking to the streets.
Some lit candles and sang and some danced in the streets. Others held hands in silent at the Place de la Republique, which has become a central commemoration site for the victims of the massacre.
The scenes were repeated at the cafes and the Bataclan theatre, where most of the 130 people who died lost their lives.
The attacks, claimed by militants from Islamic State, started shortly before 9.20pm as Parisians enjoyed a Friday night out.
Earlier today, France’s Senate has voted to extend a state of emergency for three months after last week’s deadly attacks.
The state of emergency expands police powers to carry out arrests and searches and allows authorities to forbid the movement of persons and vehicles at specific times and places. France’s lower chamber has already approved the measure.
