President Hollande spoke out shortly after, saying: "It's national unity that's been hit on July 14.

"That's the monstrous target of the terrorists - hitting some to scare the others, unleashing violence to create division, instilling fear to fuel distrust and stigmatisation.

"This evil project will fail. Unity, liberty, humanity, in the end, will prevail."

People of 19 different nationalities died in the attack on July 14, including 15 children and teenagers.

Hollande reminded the gathering the youngest victim was two and the oldest 92.

Marie-Helen Serat, a local resident working near the beachfront promenade, said: "We will never forget, we need to think of the victims.

"All the local residents are touched... Every morning I'm passing here and every morning I am thinking of this tragedy."

Flowers, teddy bears and flags of different countries were floating on a makeshift memorial near the Promenade des Anglais.

Mary Kininmonth, a Scottish tourist, said: "People need a place, somewhere to go to express their feeling and their sadness."

She added: "People deal with things in different ways. People need somewhere to go to express their feeling and their sadness.

"It is not glorifying it, it's just remembering in a nice way, having somewhere to go."

France has remained in a state of emergency since the Nice attack - which saw the seafront stretch turn from a scene of celebration to one of horror.
