A minute's silence will be held across France later today to remember the 84 people who lost their lives in the Nice terror attack.
The Tricolour will also fly at half-mast over Government Buildings, with people expected to take part in the memorial around the world.
Candle lit vigils and a sea of flowers already mark the scene where revellers including 10 children were mown down by a lorry during the Bastille celebrations, with more than 100 people injured.
World leaders have pledged solidarity stating 'We stand with Nice' with harrowing images continuing to emerge.
Terrorist Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel drove a truck through crowds of people on the Promenade des Anglais on Thursday evening before he was finally gunned down and killed by police, with many young families celebrating the event.
Among those killed include a dad and his young son who were on a 'dream' family holiday to the French Riviera.

Sean Copeland, 51, and his 11-year-old son, Brodie, were killed in front of their horrified relatives as the lorry ploughed into crowds.
The horror could have been unimaginably worse after a pistol, several grenades and larger guns were among the items uncovered from the 25-tonne vehicle.
Footage shows the lorry gathering speed as people running screaming, before bodies litter the road.
