As darkness fell across Europe, tens of thousands took to the streets to show their solidarity with those killed by gunmen at the offices of satirical French weekly Charlie Hebdo.
The scenes were replicated across France, in London and around the world with crowds holding placards bearing the slogan #JeSuisCharlie, which means ‘I am Charlie’ in French. Others were seen carrying enlarged versions of the some of the newspaper's anti-Islamist cartoons.
Meanwhile the website of French newspaper Le Monde last night showed an interactive map of vigils being held across the world in Dublin, Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Brussels, Madrid, Rome, Berlin, Vienna, Moscow, and as far afield as Tunis, Lima, Rio de Janeiro and Madagascar.
In London, hundreds of people filled Trafalgar Square at a silent vigil for those killed when masked gunmen stormed the newspaper's headquarters. Many held pens, pencils and notebooks in the air to show their support for the journalists, cartoonists and police officers who lost their lives.
The gatherings were held as French President Francoise Hollande declared tomorrow a day of national mourning tomorrow in respect for the victims of this morning's attack.
Unity: Tens of thousands of people last night joined peaceful rallies in support of the people killed at the massacre in central Paris
At the Place de la Republique, in central Paris, less than half a mile from the Charlie Hebdo offices, protesters stood shoulder to shoulder, proudly holding 'Je Suis Charlie' signs above their heads.
In central London, the mood was sombre as a large crowd gathered in front of The National Gallery, to express a mute horror at the events in the French capital. Dozens of French people were among them, along with those of other nationalities who came to show they would not bow to terrorism.
Vigils were held into the night across France, including gatherings in Marseille, Nice and Rennes – with more than 10,000 people congregating to mourn in both Toulouse and Lyon.
And in a show of support for the European neighbours, Germans gathered outside the French embassies in Berlin and Madrid last night - signs illuminated by candlelight.
The crowds were gathered in support of 12 people - including four of France's most revered cartoonists - who were executed by masked attackers, brandishing Kalashnikovs, who burst into the Charlie Hebdo headquarters, opening fire on staff after seeking out journalists by name.

Thousands of Parisians gathered Wednesday night at the Place de la Republique to protest the terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo. Many held copies of the magazine, including one with the cover of a Muslim kissing a cartoonist that reads: “Love is stronger than hate.” Others waved pens in support of journalists and freedom of the press. “Everyone is shocked: the cartoonists Charb, Cabu, Wolinski, Tignous,” said one demonstrator. “We grew up with them. Half of France grew up with them.” Other spontaneous demonstrations formed throughout France, including in Bordeaux, Nantes, and Lyon.
