Furious mourners have created a rubbish-strewn 'hate memorial' at the spot where the Nice terror attacker was shot dead by police.

Angry French citizens have spat and tossed stones and cigarette butts in the place on the Promenade des Anglais where Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel was gunned down after his murderous spree.

One person has even written 'Assassin' on the ground in red paint.

The 'tribute' to the ISIS terrorist is in contrast to the candles and flowers left nearby in memory of his 84 victims.

Bouhlel slaughtered at least 84 and injured more than 200 innocent people after ploughing his truck into a crowd of Bastille Day revellers on Thursday night.

Earlier thousands of mourners have packed the beach-front road in Nice where a crazed lorry driver murdered 84 people to observe a minute's silence.

Huge crowds of well-wishers made their way to the Promenade des Anglais for the sombre remembrance ceremony, which took place at 11am this morning.

The country is in a third day of national mourning following the atrocity, while the scene of the attack remains strewn with flowers.

He drove the 19-tonne lorry through crowds for more than a mile, while taking potshots at people from the window of his cab.

Boulhel then emerged shooting from the vehicle, before being gunned down by police.

Neighbours have described the killer as a 'bud Muslim' who "drank alcohol, ate pork and took drugs" in the wake of the attacks.

Just 35 of the victims have been identified so far.

Another 12 bodies are expected to be named today, while several people are still listed as missing.

Speaking to French television, Mr Sarkozy said "Democracy must not be weak, nor simply commemorate.

"Democracy must say 'We will win the war'."
