Powerful images from the French capital.
12 people have been killed and ten seriously injured as a result of an attack at the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris this morning.
The people of the French city gathered this evening to show solidarity for those who lost their lives today.
Here’s are some images taken in Paris a little earlier.
