In a tweet, the government urged people to take a photo of the flag or a selfie and post it on social media using the hashtag #FiersdelaFrance (“proud of France”) at 8 a.m. local time.

The move comes as French President François Hollande presides over a Friday morning ceremony in Paris to honour the victims of the attacks, which claimed the lives of 130 people.

Here is a look at some of the photos:
