"The Queen and I are deeply distressed by reports of the truck attack in Nice which caused the tragic loss of so many innocent lives and untold injuries," read the message sent to French President Francois Hollande on Friday. The French embassy in Thailand lowers the national and European Union flags to half-staff on Friday to mourn those killed and injured in the truck attack in Nice. At least 84 people were killed and another 50 injured when a truck slammed into a crowd watching a Bastille Day fireworks display on Thursday night. "We wish to extend our sincerest sympathy and condolences to Your Excellency and to all those who have been inflicted with bereavement from this horrific incident."
