France marks the 10th anniversary of the July 14, 2016 jihadist attack on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, which killed 86 people and injured more than 400. French President Emmanuel Macron attends a national tribute and a solemn ceremony in Nice on Tuesday to remember the victims. The commemoration takes place at the same location where the attack occurred, with events structured as public remembrance for those killed and affected.
Later on Tuesday, France’s national football team observes a minute of silence ahead of its World Cup semi-final. The gesture is tied to the anniversary and recognizes the victims of the attack, continuing a wider programme of commemorative acts in France. Live coverage from outlets in France highlights the formal nature of the observances, which include official participation by Macron and the participation of public institutions and high-profile national teams in the remembrance.
