Dozens of world leaders stood arm in arm as they led a defiant march through Paris in the wake of the terror attacks that shocked the French capital.
Families of victims were among at least a million people who descended on the city from all over the world to show their solidarity with Parisians mourning the deaths of the 17 people killed in this week’s atrocities.
Prime Minister David Cameron, France’s president Francois Hollande and other European leaders broke into spontaneous applause amid cheers, chants of “Charlie, Charlie” and c horuses of the French national anthem L a Marseillaise as the march got under way from the Place de la Republique.
Ahead of the rally, Mr Hollande declared: “Today, Paris is the capital of the world.”
As the crowds swelled in a surge of unity, an unprecedented security operation saw more than 5,000 police and soldiers deployed to the streets as France remained on high alert.
