PICS: The Eiffel Tower has been lit up in tribute to the victims of the Paris terror attacks

The colours of the French flag shine bright.

The people of Paris are still in mourning following the tragic events of Friday night when 129 people lost their lives in a terrorist attack.

The most famous landmark in the city, the Eiffel Tower, had been closed indefinitely but it was reopened just after 4pm this evening.

The tower has been lit up with the colours of the French flag in memory of those who died over the weekend.
