Nice prepares to remember attack victims in special ceremony

None

NICE- Three months after a man ploughed his truck into crowds on France's national day in Nice, the southern coastal city is trying to recover as it prepares to remember the 86 victims in a national ceremony of remembrance.

 

Tributes line the sea-front promenade along which Tunisian-born Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel drove a 19-tonne truck, mowing down people watching fireworks on France's July 14 Bastille Day, before police shot him dead.

 

Curious visitors and grieving locals stop to look at bouquets of flowers, toys and yellowing notes left in memory of the victims.
