Following the weekend's bloody terror attacks in Paris patrons and staff of a Falmouth cafe joined people all around the country in a moment of silence for the dead.

At 11am on Monday morning, the Gylly Beach Cafe fell quiet for a minute as those inside reflected on Friday night's events, which have left 132 dead and many more injured.

Mark Agnew, the cafe manager, said: "It's our way of showing our respect to the victims of Paris."

Student Hannah Newton was one of those who joined in the silence, and she said: "I think it's really good that people are recognising it. It shows solidarity and respect."

Another customer, Sue Williams, said: "It's a shocking, shocking event that unfolded at the weekend."

She added: "We were in Budock Church on Sunday and the vicar lit a candle for peace at the beginning of the service, and the prayers were all about praising the victims."

Paul Shimmen also observed the minute's silence, and said afterwards: "You hear so much about things going on constantly that it's difficult to know how to respond.

"I think that one in particular was a bit more personal, than some of the other attacks.It seems more like a massacre as opposed to a terrorist attack."
