A Scottish couple reported missing after Thursday night's terror attack in Nice have been found safe and well.
Concern had been growing for Carol Cowan and husband Ross believed to be missing in Nice.
They'd failed to get back in touch their family following yesterday’s terror attack.
Carole’s sister Amy, posted on social media asking for help to find them:
84 people - including 10 children - were killed when a lorry ploughed into crowds watching a fireworks display to celebrate the national holiday - Bastille Day.
The driver was later shot dead by police.
President Hollande has confirmed it was terror attack - and has extended a state of emergency across France.
Prime Minister Theresa May says the UK must redouble its efforts to defeat terrorism - as she condemned the 'brutal murderers' behind the Nice attack.
Mrs May added that Britain stands "shoulder to shoulder" with France.
The meeting of the Cobra security committee heard that a "small number" of Britons had so far been identified as injured in the attack.
“At this stage we are aware of a small number of British nationals who have been injured, but that is just the situation as we know it now, those numbers may change,” the Prime Minister's official spokeswoman said.
Floral tributes have been left at the French Consulate in Edinburgh, which is a twin city with Nice.
A book of condolence has also been opened in the French Institute for Scotland next door.
Flags are flying at half-mast at public buildings, including Edinburgh City Chambers and the Scottish Parliament.
Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said: The people of France have suffered devastation and loss in recent years that no nation should have to go through.
Once again the thoughts and prayers of everybody in Scottish Labour and across the country are with the people of France.''
Holyrood's Presiding Officer Ken Macintosh said: I am truly shocked and deeply saddened by the news from Nice.
Our thoughts are with all those affected.''
