Twickenham street flies French tricolour flags to show solidarity after Paris terror attacks

A Twickenham high street is decked out in the tricolour flag as a sign of solidarity following the Parisian terror attacks last night which claimed the lives of 127 people.

Church Street put out their flags today after a series of coordinated shootings and suicide bombings, branded ‘acts of barbarity’ by French President Francois Hollande, took place across the French capital.

Tooting MP and London mayoral candidate Sadiq Khan shared a picture of the street and said: “Londoners stand side by side with the people of Paris.

“Terrorists will never dent our strength, resolve or unity.”

Richmond MP and Conservative mayoral candidate Zac Goldsmith also tweeted his solidarity with Parisians.

He said: “Profoundly distressing, angering scenes in Paris.

“All good people must stand with France.”
