France observes minute's silence in memory of Nice attacks; books of condolence open in Ireland

France has held a minute's silence as they remember the victims of last week's attack in Nice.

France has marked a national moment of silence in memory of the 84 people killed in the Nice truck attack, as thousands of people massed on the city's waterfront promenade.

With flowers in their hands and tears in their eyes, crowds stood on the rocky beach for several minutes looking towards the Promenade des Anglais, the road where the attack targeting Bastille Day celebrations occurred.
