A year on to the day, France has been remembering the country’s murderous terror attacks in Paris.<br /><br /> President Hollande and the city’s mayor Anne Hidalgo released 130 balloons – one for each person who died in the atrocities. <br /><br /> As well as the uplifting commemorations, ceremonies were held at each of the venues where the attacks took place.<br /><br /> Two plaques were unveiled at the Bataclan concert hall. The venue suffered the most casualties as three gunmen caused terror – they claimed in the name of Islam.<br /><br /> A first plaque contains the names of the victims. The second was unveiled by two people who both lost their children in the attacks.<br /><br /> The Stade de France to the north of Paris is where it all started. Suicide bombs went off – mercifully outside the stadium rather than inside. A Portuguese man, Manuel Dias, became the night’s first victim.<br /><br /> Ceremonies have also taken place at the series of bars and cafes in the French capital, where gunmen roamed, mowing people down at random.<br /><br /> The Bataclan reopened for music on Saturday night. The thousand tickets to see Sting play sold out in under half and hour; victims’ relatives were among the audience.<br /><br /> Proceeds will go to two charities helping survivors of the attacks.<br /><br /> The former Police frontman opened his performance with a minute’s silence, telling the crowd “we will not forget them”.<br />
