The East pays its respects to Nice victims

Staff at the Alliance Française language school in Cambridge say they will be going ahead with their planned open day tomorrow despite the deaths of so many in the Nice attack.

They have invited members of the public to go along to an open day tomorrow to show solidarity with those killed in last night's attack.

The school is a meeting place for French nationals living in the region.

Flags are flying at half mast outside the Civic Centre in Harlow this morning out of respect for those who lost their lives when a lorry driver ploughed into crowds celebrating France's national Bastille Day in Nice last night.

84 people were killed in the attack, while another 18 are critically injured in hospital.

New Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has confirmed one UK national was among those hurt.

Cambridgeshire Police have also paid their respects, tweeting that their "thoughts go out to families and friends affected by the tragic events in Nice."
