All government buildings in the UK will fall silent at 11am on Monday in remembrance of those who died in the 13 November 2015 Paris attacks.
A total of 130 people lost their lives – 89 of them at the Bataclan theatre during a show by Eagles of Death Metal – and 368 were injured in a series of coordinated terrorist attacks by jihadist group Islamic State.
According to Britain’s department for culture, media and sport (DCMS), the one-minute silence will “be marked at all government buildings, and other organisations may follow suit”. There was two minutes’ silence in the UK today for Armistice Day.
The 1,500-cap. Bataclan will reopen tomorrow with a charity show by Sting.
