UK: London mourns Paris attacks as security stepped up at French embassy

Flowers were laid and security was heightened at the French Embassy and Consulate in Kensington, London on Saturday, following Friday night's attacks in Paris which killed at least 127 and injured 200. A security presence remained outside the consulate as people gathered to lay flowers and pay their respects to those that lost their lives. At least 127 people were killed and more than 200 left injured after a series of coordinated attacks were carried out at six different locations across Paris on Friday evening. Eighty-seven people were killed after gunmen opened fire during a concert at the Bataclan theatre, taking dozens hostage before detonating suicide bombs. Police stormed the venue, freeing the hostages and killing one of the attackers. Up to 40 other people were killed in attacks at the French national stadium and a string of popular bars and restaurants. Authorities say that eight attackers were killed - seven detonating suicide bombs and one shot dead by security forces in the Bataclan. French police are now searching for any other possible attackers or accomplices. Hollande described the attacks as an act of terrorism and has declared a state of emergency in France.
