Huge crowds massed on Nice’s waterfront promenade with flowers in their hands and tears in their eyes as France marked a national moment of silence in memory of the 84 dead. Thousands of people gathered and stood on the rocky beach for several minutes looking towards the Promenade des Anglais, where the attack occurred.

France has begun its third day of national mourning as tributes to victims of the Nice lorry attack grow and investigations into their killer continues.

Relatives of those being treated in the city’s hospitals comforted each other at the weekend as they waited for news of their loved ones, injured when French-Tunisian father-of-three Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel drove a lorry into crowds celebrating Bastille Day on the Promenade des Anglais.
