Paris: The Eiffel Tower will be lit up on Monday night in the rainbow colours of the gay community in solidarity with the victims of the Orlando shootings, Paris city hall said.
"Paris is with Orlando. Tonight, the Eiffel Tower will be illuminated in LGBT colours in homage to the victims," Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo tweeted.
City hall will also fly the US flag, the Stars and Stripes, as well as the rainbow flag, Hidalgo said, expressing her "compassion, solidarity and affection" for the American people after the massacre.
The French football team also tweeted a message of support, along with a picture of a ribbon combining the colours of the US and rainbow flags.
The planned tribute at the Eiffel Tower recalls the global show of solidarity with the French after the jihadist carnage in Paris in November.
