The Eiffel Tower will be lit up in rainbow colours on Monday evening in tribute to the victims of the massacre in a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, the mayor of Paris said. The France government also wrote on its official Twitter account, "we stand together with our American friends." In March, the Eiffel Tower displayed Belgian colours after twin attacks by Islamists in Brussels killed at least 26 people. "Paris stands with Orlando," mayor Anne Hidalgo said on her Twitter account. "Tonight @LaTourEiffel will wear the rainbow flag as a tribute to the victims."
