Paris remembers

President Francois Hollande as well as former president Nicolas Sarkozy and other high-ranking politicians as well as members of the military and the victims' families listened as the names of the 130 victims were being read out.

In his speech at Les Invalides, President Francois Hollande said France would "do everything it can to destroy the army of fanatics that committed this crime...," referring to the "Islamic State," (IS) which claimed responsibility for the attacks.

The ceremony was held at Les Invalides, the 17th century complex that is most famous for housing Napoleon's tomb and a military museum. It's the first time the venue has been used to honor civil victims.

The November 13 attacks killed 130 people and wounded a further 350, some of which also attended the ceremony at Les Invalides. Some had to be brought in on stretchers and in wheelchairs.

In the run-up to the ceremony, Hollande had asked the French people to display the French flag, the Tricolore, on houses, stalls and other buildings. This picture shows a building near the Invalides, where Friday's ceremony took place.

This man is decked out in several French flags, standing at the central Place de la Republique on the eve of Friday's ceremony. It's not clear whether he is selling the flags, giving them away or whether he simply took the president's message very seriously.

President Hollande assured the world that France will respond to the attacks by "singing more songs and keeping on going to concerts and stadiums." France, he promised would "stay the same."

President Hollande appeared solemn but determined throughout the ceremony. The French president says France would not give in to "fear or hate" after the attacks. Since the attacks two weeks ago, he has been meeting world leaders to drum up support for an anti-"IS" alliance.
