French President Francois Hollande and other dignitaries held a special ceremony on Sunday to honor all those killed in Islamic extremist attacks around Paris in 2015.
Hollande and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo unveiled a plaque in memory of victims targeted at newspaper Charlie Hebdo, a kosher market, a rock concert, cafes, a stadium and elsewhere.
The attacks left some 150 victims dead, and several attackers were also killed.
The ceremony took place at Place de la Republique, a square that has become a symbol of Parisians' solidarity since the attacks, which began on 7 January 2015.
French rocker and national icon Johnny Hallyday joined the army choir in a special somber musical performance.
Hollande, Hidalgo and French Prime Minister Manuel Valls laid a wreath in honor of the victims, followed by a minute of silence.
