Tricolour flying at half-mast in north capital as mark of solidarity after Nice tragedy
The Tricolour, the national flag of France, is flying at half-mast at Highland Council’s headquarters and Town House in Inverness, as a mark of respect and solidarity for those affected by the terrible incident in Nice.
Highland Council convener, Councillor Isobel McCallum expressed her sympathies, on behalf of the authority, with the people of France.
She said: “All of us are thinking of those affected by so many lives lost and shattered in this tragic and despicable act, in the beautiful city of Nice.
“This touches all of us across the world. We need to remain vigilant and report anything suspicious to the Police, whilst it is imperative we continue to celebrate our freedom and live our normal lives, without allowing the threat of terrorism to shatter our freedom and the values we hold dear.”
