​Flags at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay will be flown at half-mast this Sunday, 11 January from 5pm, as a mark of respect for the victims of the gun attack on the office of France's satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo that killed 12 people.
The Honorary Consul of France in Cardiff are organising a gathering at 6pm in front of the Senedd in Cardiff Bay where a minute of silence will be observed.
