London's landmarks will display the French colours this evening in a special tribute to pay respect to the victims of the Paris massacre.

Vigils have already been held in London and all over the world following the death of 17 people after the attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices and the subsequent manhunt of Said and Cherif Kouachi, as well as conspirator Amedy Coulibaly.

Tower Bridge will display the flag's colours from 4pm until 5.30pm, after which the bridge will go dark, while the emblem will also be projected on to the National Gallery.

The Trafalgar Square fountains will rotate the colours of the French national flag, while the London Eye will go dark with the red, white and blue projected on to County Hall behind it.
