The Vatican has condemned a terrorist attack in Nice that has left at least 84 people dead.

A lorry rammed into a crowd celebrating Bastille Day on the Promenade des Anglais last night.

Fr Federico Lombardi, director of the Vatican press office, said: "We have followed during the night, with the greatest concern, the terrible news which has come from Nice.

"We want to make known, on the part of Pope Francis and ourselves, our sharing and solidarity in the suffering of the victims and all the French people, in what was supposed to be a great day of celebration.
