World stands with Paris for one minute silence in memory of 132 terror victims

The world has fallen silent to mark the 129 victims of the Paris terror attacks.
Millions across Britain joined countries across several continents at 11am GMT with France observing a third day of national mourning. President Francois Hollande led the country in a minute's silence at noon France time, in memory of those killed in the massacres. Photos after the cut...



As Mr Hollande bowed his head at the Paris-Sorbonne University, crowds gathered in London's Trafalgar Square - where on Saturday hundreds joined a series of vigils to mourn those who died.
Similar scenes took place at King's Cross railway station and St Pancras, the hub for Eurostar trains bound for Paris.

Muslims at Birmingham's Central Mosque joined the minute's silence in defiance at the appropriation of Islam for terror, and Francophiles at the Alliance Francaise de Cambridge paused to acknowledge those lost and injured in the the horrors of Friday night.
