France mourns again after 84 killed in Bastille day atrocity

A lorry struck a crowd after Bastille Day celebrations in the southern French city of Nice, killing at least 80 people, including children, and injuring dozens.  

It happened on the famous Promenade des Anglais after a firework display. The driver was shot dead and guns and grenades were found inside the lorry. 

 President Francois Hollande said the attack was of a "terrorist nature".  
He extended a state of emergency across France for three months.
 France had been on high alert following last November's attacks in Paris in which 130 people died and hundreds were wounded.
