U2 paid tribute to the 132 victims of the Paris terror atrocities during their gig at AccorHotels Arena in the French capital.
The band had originally planned to play Paris on the 14 and 15th of November but cancelled the gigs as a mark of respect for those who lost their lives in the November 13th attacks.
The names of the people who died appeared on a large screen lit up in the red, white and blue of the French Tricolore.
Beautiful tribute to those who are not with us anymore. #U2ieTour pic.twitter.com/jO8Lt61Kfr

Speaking to the crowd, Bono said: “Tonight we are all Parisians, ce soir nous sommes tous Parisiens”.
“If you love liberty then Paris is your hometown. We have a few words to speak on the loss you are feeling tonight, I guess grief is like a wound that never closes,” he added.
