Police, street performers and football fans filled the streets in New Orleans as the city recovers from a deadly rampage which saw a US army veteran plough a truck into a crowd of New Year’s Eve revellers.

The attack along Bourbon Street killed 14 people, along with the driver, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who officials said was inspired by the Islamic State militant group.
