France's
iconic landmark the Eiffel Tower was lit up in the colours of the
French flag this evening for the first time since the horrific attacks
in Paris.
The
tourist attraction, closed to the public since Friday's terrorist
attacks which resulted in the death of at least 129 people, returned to
service today Monday Nov 16,2015
The
operators had previously turned the lights off at the famous tower in
honour of all the victims of the shocking attack. Security concerns
continue to focus around the tower following false reports of gunfire
being heard near the site.
The
words 'fluctuat nec mergitur' - the city's Latin motto, meaning 'tossed
but not sunk' - were also beamed onto a section of the tower.
Fresh
tributes continue to pour in on the streets of Paris and on social
media as friends and family remember all the people caught up in the
deadly attacks.
