Tributes have been paid in Paris this morning to those killed in the terrorist atrocities earlier this month.
A ceremony at Les Invalides saw leading figures from the world of politics as well as the arts pay tribute.
One significant moment was the performance of the song Quand on n'a que l'amour by Nolwenn Leroy, Camélia Jordana and Yael Naïm.
The song was originally written by Jacques Brel, it's been coverd by many artists since.
A measured and considered song choice, and an absolutely appropriate one for the circumstances.

Yael Naim: Deezer session
Another quality Deezer session, this time from Yael Naim.
Naim shot to success when her track New Soul was used in an Apple advert, reaching the Billboard top 10 in the USA in 2008.
The song had features in her 2007 self-titled second album.
Yael Naim has won two Victoires de la Musique awards in her career so far, World Music album of the year in 2008 and best female singer in 2011.
Her new album, entitled Older, is released this week. It has been five years since her previous album She Was a Boy was released, a platinum seller in France.
Since then she was not only winner of the Victoires de la Musique award, but also winner of a Globes de Cristal award for best female artist, and recipient of a Chevalier de l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres title.
The session features three tracks, trapped, Coward and Dream in my head.

Chart : Yael Naim - Come Home
France's most downloaded song at the moment is Come Home, by French Israeli singer Yael Naim, the video her performance from France's Victoires de la Musique awards last month - the French equivalent of the Grammys or the Brits - where she won the Female Singer of the Year award.
A great song and a great voice, and quite a performance on TV that no doubt led to the rush to download the tune. She was shortlisted against Vanessa Paradis, Coeur de Pirate and Asa. Yael had previously won the award for Album of the Year in the world music category in 2008 for her second album Yael Naim.
This was the first album that saw her working with musical collaborator David Donatien, who she continues to work with.
That album got a huge amount of attention after the song New Soul was featured in Apple's MacBook Air advert, reaching the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 11 and number 2 in France after it picked up a lot of MTV airplay. It was also featured in a number of films. She even reached the giddy heights of voicing a character on the Simpsons.
Naim's third album, She was a Boy (Tot ou tard/Wagram), was released in late 2010.
