    minutes of silence to honour the dead of the attacks
    on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon
    Washington.

    Citizens across France were encouraged to keep three
    minutes of silence at 1200 local time (1000 gmt) on Friday
    (September 14) to express France's grief for the victims and
    their families. The bells of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris
    rang during the three minutes, while the Paris Bourse stopped
    transactions and buses and metros stopped running.

    The 3-minute silence gesture was also respected in airports
    and schools across the country.
