The landmark has a history of going dark to mark sombre events such as the terror attacks which claimed the lives of 130 people in the French capital in November 2015.

A post of the tourist attraction’s official social media feeds said: "I will turn my lights off tonight, at midnight, to pay tribute to the victims of the London attack. #EiffelTower"

Ron Huldai, the mayor of Tel Aviv, posted images of the City Hall building in Israel, illuminated in red, white and blue.
