As news of the massacre at Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris spreads further across the world, the global community is showing their solidarity with those killed through the use of the Twitter hashtag #JeSuisCharlie.
Translated to English it means 'I am Charlie' and has quickly been adopted by social media users around the world, along with the hashtag #CharlieHebdo.
Four of the people killed in the massacre were France's most famous cartoonists, including Jean Cabut who is said to be the highest paid cartoonist in the world.
Many supporters accompanied their tweets with photos taken at memorials taking place in London's Trafalgar Square, French embassies in Stockholm, Copenhagen Rome and Madrid, as well as France itself.
Other global supporters unable to attend vigils used memes and cartoons to show their support for the victims as well as free speech.
