Paris shooting: More than a million rally in 'unprecedented' historic Paris march of defiance
World leaders including Muslim and Jewish statesmen linked arms to lead an estimated million-plus French citizens through Paris in an unprecedented march under high security to pay tribute to victims of Islamist militant attacks.
People also poured into the streets in other European cities, and even Israel to demonstrate their solidarity with the marchers in France.
In Paris, police said the turnout was "without precedent" but too large to count. One organiser said he had indications it could be between 1.3 and 1.5 million people. Some commentators said the last street presence in the capital on this scale was at the Liberation of Paris from Nazi Germany in 1944. Together with marchers in other French cities, police estimated the total turn-out in France at some 3 million.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal lamented his side's lack of cutting edge after they lost 1-0 at home to Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday.
United dominated possession but failed to register a single shot on target for the first time in a league game at Old Trafford since May 2009, allowing Southampton to prevail through Dusan Tadic's 69th-minute strike.
Victory took Ronald Koeman's side above United into third place, but Van Gaal, who fell out with Koeman during their time together at Ajax, felt the visitors were fortunate to leave Manchester with all three points.
