A damp, dreary day echoed the somber mood as thousands gathers in Paris to mark the one year anniversary of the deadly terror attacks of Nov. 13, 2016, that killed 130 people and injured scores more. 。

French President Francois Hollande and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo took part in the ceremonies, which included commemorations at every site of last year's attacks, including the unveiling of plaques at each site, and concluded at the Bataclan music hall, where 90 people lost their lives during the attack.

The weekend's events also included a concert by Sting at the Bataclan, the first event at the venue since the attacks interrupted a show by U.S. rock group Eagles of Death Metal. (Reports circulated Saturday night that Jesse Hughes, lead singer of Eagles of Death Metal, was refused entry due to controversial comments in recent months but Hughes denied the story on Sunday at the memorial.)。

Sting opened his show with message of remembrance for the victims and a moment of silence.。

Other commemorations included a mass at Notre Dame Cathedral and the release of paper lanterns in Canal Saint-Martin to commemorate the victims, a solemn moment of beauty to end a day filled with memories of tragedy.  。
