People are showing solidarity with Paris by sharing this image on Facebook

An image that has gone viral on social media after the Paris terror attacks on Friday (November 13) is a sketch of the Eiffel Tower within a peace symbol, created by artist Jean Jullien.

One image, in particular, has become a kind of icon of worldwide solidarity: a simple, but powerful, black-and-white ink drawing of a peace sign – with the Eiffel Tower at its heart.

The Las Vegas marathon’s increased security came after the April 2013 twin explosions at the iconic Boston Marathon finish line that killed three people and injured hundreds more. People from around the globe sent their condolences and brought flowers to French embassies.

“France has got to know what we live with in Syria”, he added, as a Syrian passport was found at the scene of one of the attacks.

To be sure there were still plenty of people Saturday posing for selfies in front of the Eiffel Tower and finding a lover’s lips along the Seine.

Jonathan said: “We took a walk around the city today (Saturday), the mood was tense and quiet, nearly eerie in nature, most shops and restaurants were closed, leaving us at a loss of what to do”.

Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with everyone in France and those who have been affected by this awful tragedy. A city famed for its glamour and bustling streets seemed garbed in mourning as Parisians struggled with the shock of the multiple attacks that claimed scores of lives. Police said all public demonstrations in the Paris area would be banned until Thursday, and the French secretary of state for sports issued instructions to regional sports federations to cancel matches this weekend. And I guess this sort of brought it back on.

Outside the steps of the Bataclan concert hall the following day, a man sat down at a mobile piano and started playing John Lennon’s “Imagine”.

Eight attackers struck numerous locations around the capital, leaving at least 128 people dead on Friday night, in the worst bloodshed in Europe since the 2004 Madrid train bombings.
