The families of the 42 French citizens killed and those who remain missing attended the event at the Invalides memorial complex in Paris.

Every French victim was represented by a photograph with his or her name. It's believed that three French nationals are still being held in the Gaza Strip.

Some Israeli relatives were brought to France on a special flight.

“We are a people who will never forget” the victims of October 7, Macron said during a speech as he promised “to work for the security of all in the Middle East”.
