Watch as Emmanuel Macron leads tributes to those who have lost their lives due to militant attacks on French soil.

This feed shows the scene in Paris as the country marks the European Remembrance Day for Victims of Terrorism.

"We work to better prevent and respond to terrorist threats, putting the voices of victims and survivors at the centre of our response," the European Commission tweeted.

This year marks the 19th year that Europe has observed the occasion to remember those who have been killed.

In a statement, the commission said: "We will never forget them. We will not surrender to the fear terrorists try to instill when they commit their atrocities. The goal of terrorists is to divide our society. We will not allow them to succeed."

The European Day of Remembrance of Victims of Terrorism was established after the Madrid Bombings of 11 March, 2004.
