Belgium remains in lockdown for the third day as police hunt down Paris attack suspect Salah Abdeslam, and aim to close a terrorist network which authorities believe is planning an attack similar to the one which left 130 people dead in Paris 10 days ago.

All schools in Brussels have been shut as a precaution and the city’s metro suspended. Local media described the move as historic and unprecedented. At least 16 suspects were arrested in 19 raids on Sunday night.

We want to know what it’s like living in Belgium under lockdown, and what you think about the security measures.
