Islanders pay respects to Paris victims at memorial

A silent walk along Douglas promenade on Sunday gave local people a chance to mourn the victims of the Paris attacks, as well as other conflicts across the world.

That's according to Council Leader David Christian, who organised the event with honorary French consul Annie Nédellec.

More than a hundred people attended the war memorial on Sunday to take part in a solitary stroll to the Sea Terminal, dressed in red, white and blue - the colours of the tricolour.

Mr Christian said it enabled people to pay their respects to the war dead across the world.
