People of all faiths from across Haringey have paid tribute to those who lost their lives in terrorist attacks last weekend.

A minutes silence was held at many locations and workplaces across the borough in honour of the victims of attacks in Paris and Beirut.

The flags above Haringey Council were lowered to half-mast as a sign of respect.

Politicians were among those to condemn the attacks. Shootings and suicide bombings at locations across Paris on Friday night left over 120 people dead.

David Lammy, MP for Tottenham, said: “These horrific events strike at the heart of Europe and the Middle East and are an attempt to test the compassion and humanity of the people of Paris and Lebanon.

“I know that our community in Haringey will join me in sending a message of solidarity and love to those that lost their lives and their loved ones. And we all stand in solidarity with those that carry on living their lives as normal when faced with this senseless violence.”

Hornsey and Wood Green MP Catherine West quoted Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn’s words on the terrorism, describing it as “horrific and immoral”.

She said: “We stand completely in solidarity with our neighbours. Hatred drove these terrible attacks, and we must combat hatred in any of its forms.

“We must be proud to live in a multicultural and multi-faith society. It is important to push the message that we live together in tolerance and in unity.

"These appalling acts in a city so close to our own are a painful reminder of the ever-present threat of terrorism. People of all ages, cultures and faiths enjoying the start of the weekend only to be caught up in indiscriminate acts of violence.

"We stand united against any who seek to use violence to divide our communities. Jeremy Corbyn has already written to President Hollande and pledged full support for every effort to bring to justice the perpetrators of this despicable act.”

Schools from the borough are also looking to support those who have been affected by the attacks.

MP West visited Woodside High School in Wood Green on the Monday morning after the attacks, and joined the school in their minute's silence.

Hornsey School for Girls also held a two minute silence (pictured), and tomorrow at lunchtime students will be taking part in a silent protest with messages of support to the people of Paris. There will also be messages of solidarity for refugees and Muslims.
