As many as 2m people took to the streets of Paris – and an estimated 3.7m across France – in a huge collective outpouring of resolve and remembrance for the victims of the past week’s terrorist attacks. The march in the capital was the biggest public gathering in France since the Liberation in 1944. Foreign leaders walked arm-in-arm in a demonstration of international solidarity, but it was, first and foremost, a day for ordinary people of all races and religions to come together to reject extremism.

In Germany, however, there was a firebomb attack at the office of the Hamburger Morgenpost, a newspaper which had republished Charlie Hebdo‘s cartoons last week. No-one was injured.

As you’d expect, what was a remarkable day in France threw up plenty of talking points – from the “hypocrisy” of the presence of some global representatives; to the “controversy” over the fact that the most senior US official in attendance was the Ambassador; to JK Rowling attacking Rupert Murdoch for a tweet; and finally to a guest on Fox News sparking one of the funniest Twitter hashtags of recent months after his comments about the English city of Birmingham.

There were many memorable images from the day, but perhaps one that summed things up for a lot of people was this:
