In his letter, he wrote: the Mayor wrote: "On behalf of the people of the city of Wolverhampton, I am writing to express our profound sympathy to you and the people of Paris following the sickening terrorist attacks.
"We were horrified by the events on Friday night, and I want to reassure you that the people of the city of Wolverhampton stand side by side in solidarity with the people of your great city.
