New Orleans has mourned, wept and danced at a vigil along the famous thoroughfare where 14 people were killed when a truck was driven into revellers celebrating the new year.

A makeshift memorial has been set up on Bourbon Street, with crosses and photos of the victims surrounded by candles, flowers and teddy bears.
