Cathedral service to remember Paris terror attacks

The landmark, which responded to the shootings and suicide bombings last year by ringing its bells once for each victim, is holding a special evening ceremony on Sunday.

The event is being staged as French Prime Minister Manuel Valls warned at the weekend: "Yes, terrorism will strike us again. We have all the resources to resist and all the strength to win."

Bars, restaurants, the Bataclan concert hall and the French national stadium were targeted in the attacks, which the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for.

President Francois Hollande (pictured above), who responded as the time by promising a "merciless" fight against terrorism, attended the laying of memorial plagues at each attack site on Sunday morning.

Nine people remain in hospital following the attacks on seven locations across the city, while more than 600 are still undergoing psychological treatment.

A state of emergency has remained in place across France since 13th November 2016, however, it was not enough to stop the deaths of 86 people during the 14th July 2016 Bastille Day truck attack in Nice and the murder of a priest in Normandy during the same month.
