BBC News - France attacks Million-strong unity rally in Paris
More than a million people have taken part in a unity march in Paris, after 17 people were killed during three days of deadly attacks in France's capital.
The government has described it as the largest march in the country's history.
More than 40 world leaders joined the start of the march, linking arms in an act of solidarity.
The marchers wanted to demonstrate unity after the attacks on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, police officers, and a kosher supermarket.
"Paris is the capital of the world today," French leader Francois Hollande said.
Lyse Doucet reports from Paris: ''Francois Hollande was at the head of the march''
The rally, led by relatives of the victims of last week's attacks, began at the Place de la Republique.
The interior ministry said the turnout was "unprecedented", and that the march was too large to count. Estimates ranged from 1.3 million to two million marchers.
