Manchester is showing its sympathy and solidarity with the people of France following the terror attack in Nice on 14 July.
Flags at Manchester Town Hall will be flown at half-mast and from this evening, the building will be lit with the colours of the French Tricolore for three days, the duration of the official period of mourning in France.
A book of condolence has been opened at Town Hall, while those who are unable to attend in person are invited to leave their messages online, at: www.manchester.gov.uk/nice.
The Leader of Manchester City Council, Sir Richard Leese, said:
The Lord Mayor of Manchester, Cllr Carl Austin-Behan, has written a letter to the Mayor of Nice, to express the city’s support.
