Service in capital for Paris victims

A service will be held in Wellington tomorrow to commemorate those killed in terror attacks in Paris.

The Wellington City Council said the civil service would be held in Civic Square from 5pm.

Speakers at the memorial service would include French Ambassador to New Zealand Florence Jean-Blanc Risler and Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown.

Attendees will be asked to light candles to commemorate the victims in Paris, and there will be a condolences book for people to leave a message of support.

At least 129 people were murdered in gunfire and suicide bombing attacks across the city on Friday night, and extremist group the Islamic State (ISIS) has claimed responsibility.
