Yesterday more than a million people, including 40 world leaders marched together through the streets of Paris in an unique display of apparent unity, solidarity and resistance to terrorism. This event was a show of mourning and celebration in response to the  attacks which began with the massacre at the Charlie Hebdo magazine office and ended two days later after two sieges and a major police operations.
