As the world watches on, solidarity is being felt by the French people with countries sharing their heartfelt concern and mourning by displaying the French colours in full regale anywhere they can. On national monuments and stadiums, hotels and town halls. The most poignant of all is the tricolour that is being lit up atop the building at One World Trade Center, that was built in the place of the World Trade Centre buildings lost in 2001 to terrorists. The colours bring tears to the eyes when we think of how horrible the aftermath will be for the French when they wake in the morning.

Various hashtags are now trending with a global outpouring of empathy and anger at what the French people have been put through and an understanding of how emotional the mourning will be from here.

The Americans and the English know more than most the horrors of mass-terror events, and their warmth is beautiful. Vive La France!

The Empire Trade Building is also alight with a tricolour salute.
