Around 40 world leaders joined more than one million people in a march to honour the victims of the Paris shootings on Sunday.
But while the image of Francois Hollande, David Cameron, Angela Merkel and others linking arms was hailed in a New York Times editorial as showing “unity in outrage”, the display has not been without its own controversies.
Now, a different perspective on the leader’s portion of the march has
emerged in the form of a wide shot displayed on French TV news reports.
It shows that the front line of leaders was followed by just over a
dozen rows other dignitaries and officials – after which there was a
large security presence maintaining a significant gap with the throngs
of other marchers.
Critics suggest images show dignitaries 'didn't
lead march' after all, but many still speak positively about display of
global unity
