Thousands of people attended a silent vigil in Trafalgar square held for the victims of the terrorist attacks in Paris which left more than one hundred people dead.

Londoners gathered in the capital next to the National Gallery which was lit up in the red, white and blue colours of the French flag, as were the fountains of Trafalgar Square.
