As the death toll from the Bastille Day terror attack in Nice ticks over 84, social media is being flooded with outpourings of grief, sympathy and anger for the people of France.
The hashtag “pray for France” is among the top trending topics on Twitter, with thousands of mentions from people all across the world.
A number of Twitter users shared photographs of famous global landmarks illuminated in red, white and blue, in solidarity with the coastal city.
Even Dallas, still raw from its own tragedy last week, lit up its famous downtown skyline in a display of sympathy for the victims of the tragedy on the other side of the Atlantic.

Pray for Nice, what a load of tosh, why not wish on a four leaf clover for Nice, or consult the fairies or your horoscope. Meanwhile where has all that praying got any of this. We need to stop praying and find a solution, but that's too hard so meaningless prayers will go on. I can already bet that pray for nice was started by the Americans cause they are almost as bats...t crazy over religion as these stupid Islamic terrorists. They invade half the world in the name of their Christian god bad then the Muslims retaliate in the name of Allah.
All of them can stick their god and their prayers.
How is demonstrating sympathy and compassion a problem?
Meaningless rubbish and an insult to the victims now, in the past and unfortunately in the future.
I was more offended by the ash.les who took vision of dead and dying to post it to social media. I can avoid the hashtags, not the vision because mainstream media broadcast it.
