Prominent landmarks around the globe are turning blue, white and red, otherwise known as the Tricolore, representing the national flag of France.
This show of solidarity comes in the wake of the Paris attacks on Friday the 13th, where an estimated 150 or more were reportedly killed in a spate of shootings and explosions across the French capital at night.
Even as the sails of the Sydney Opera House will be lit in the colours of the French flag on Saturday night in a show of solidarity to Paris, here are some countries around the world that have already taken initiative to do just that:
