Xavier Jugelé, the policeman shot dead on the Champs-Elysées, was deployed in the 2015 Bataclan attack and attended the Sting concert that reopened the venue last year.

“I’m happy to be here,” Mr Jugelé, 37, told People magazine at the concert in November, a year after the Paris attacks that left 130 dead.

“Glad the Bataclan is reopening. It’s symbolic. We’re here tonight as witnesses. Here to defend our civic values. This concert’s to celebrate life. To say no to terrorists.”
