Trèbes attack: French President Emmanuel Macron leads minute silence for hero police officer killed in supermarket siege

French president Emmanuel Macron has led a minute's silence for Arnaud Beltrame, the police officer who was killed in a terrorist attack in Trèbes last week.

Beltrame took the place of the final civilian hostage after 25-year-old Redouane Lakdim's shooting spree in the southern French town.

He was to be awarded France's highest accolade, the Legion d'Honneur, at a national memorial service on Wednesday.
