One year since attacks, a grimmer France commemorates its victims

As France was set to commemorate the first anniversary of its deadliest terror attack in recent history on the 13 November 2016 in Paris, many remained traumatised. And there was widespread fear that more could be to come.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls said that the state of emergency imposed after the attacks in Paris was likely to be extended.
