Huge crowds join historic march from all corners of Paris

Paris (AFP) - Thousands of people were pouring down the streets of Paris from all corners of the capital towards the Place de la Republique where an unprecedented show of solidarity and emotion was on display Sunday.

Chanting "Charlie! Charlie!" in memory of the journalists gunned down at Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine Wednesday, the crowd was easily in the hundreds of thousands as they prepared to set off on the march.
