Many monuments in Europe were lit up in the colours of the Belgian flag in solidarity with the victims of Tuesday's attacks in Brussels.

The Eiffel Tower in Paris was seen with the black, yellow and red colours of the Belgian flag in tribute to the victims of Brussels bomb attacks. In Berlin, the Brandenburg gate was illuminated in the colours of the Belgian flag in tribute to Tuesday's victims. The courthouse in Lyon, France paid tribute to the victims by painting the building in Belgian flag colours, The Guardian reported here.

At least 34 people were killed and some 200 injured in coordinated bomb attacks on Brussels' main airport and the subway. One of the two airport blasts is believed to have been a suicide bombing.
