The Eiffel Tower in Paris turned off it's lights at midnight last night to support London after a terror attack yesterday where, tragically, 5 people died and 40 were injured.
The mayor of Paris Ann Hidalgo tweeted, "I've decided to extinct the Eiffel Tower today at midnight to honour of the victims of the attack in #London #weareunited"
What do you see in the picture?
Where is it?
Usually the tower is lit up; why do you think it was dark last night?
What tragic event happened in London yesterday?
Why is France showing support when they are hundreds of miles away?
There were tributes in cities around the world yesterday; what does that show about how different people who have different skin, faith, and race feel about what happened?
What does #weareunited mean?
People in France and Britain speak a different language and have many different customs; how can they be united? What similarities do English people have with French people?
Why is this story about no outsiders?
Note: When talking about tragic events such as terror attacks to young people, explain that not everyone agrees with us and no outsiders. Some people want one race, one religion, one kind of person It's the opposite to us; we want lots of different races, different religions, different kinds of people. That's why it is so important that we spread our no outsiders message and keep talking about it. If you meet someone who doesn't understand about diversity and difference, talk to them.
