These famous West Midlands buildings join iconic structures around the world in projecting the colours of the famous French flag.

In London Tower Bridge, Wembley Stadium, the London Eye, the fountains in Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery have all been lit up in red, white and blue.

Internationally the Sydney Opera House, One World Trade Center in New York, the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and the Sky Tower in Auckland, New Zealand have all featured the tricolor.

Flags in London, including at Downing Street, Guildhall and the Old Bailey, are flying at half-mast, and flowers and candles have been laid on the steps of the French Embassy.

Meanwhile, vigils are being held as the world mourns the victims of the devastating attacks.

Organisers of the Lord Mayor's Show have cancelled Saturday's fireworks display over the River Thames as a mark of respect and are asking people not to travel for them.

More than 7,000 people were expected to turn out for the show on Saturday, with a procession of 70 floats through London to mark 800 years of the annual event.

Vigils were being held at Trafalgar Square at 2pm and 9pm, echoing those held after the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attacks in Paris in January.

Between 300,000 and 400,000 French people are thought to live in London, making it France's sixth biggest city by population."
