World leaders in unity as 3m rally in Paris

FRENCH media estimate up to 3m took part in the Paris rally for unity against terrorism — more than the numbers who took to the capital’s streets when the Allies liberated the city from the Nazis in the Second World War.

France’s Interior Ministry said the Paris rally for unity against terrorism was the largest demonstration in France’s history — a march organised to show harmony after three days of attacks that left 17 dead.

Calling the rally “unprecedented,” the ministry said the demonstrators were so numerous that they spread beyond the official march route, making them impossible to count.
