• 99 people remain in hospital in a critical condition, French prosecutor says.
• One Australia, 19-year-old Emma Grace Parkinson, has been confirmed wounded. She remains in hospital in a non-critical condition.
• Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying they were a response to insults of Islam's prophet and airstrikes in IS territory.
• The attacks have been condemned by leaders around the world, from Barack Obama and Malcolm Turnbull, to Pope Francis and Queen Elizabeth.
• Vigils held around the world and global landmarks lit up in tricolour in a show of solidarity.

Speaking in London, British PM David Cameron has again condemned the "brutal attacks", warning that "we must be prepared for a number of British casualties".

"Your values are our values, your pain is our pain, your fight is our fight," the British leader told France.

A Syrian passport has been found on the body of one of the attackers, AP reports.

Prince Charles has spoken about the attacks at his birthday party in Perth calling on the 600 strong gathering which included Social Services Minister Christian Porter, Minister for Justice Michael Keenan and Labor MP Melissa Parke to observe a minute silence for "the victims and all those affected by these bestial attacks".

Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth has sent a message to President Hollande, saying: "Prince Philip and I have been deeply shocked and saddened by the terrible loss of life in Paris. We send our most sincere condolences to you, the families of those who have died and the French people."

Nick Miller visits one of the cafes that was attacked in Paris overnight.

Fairfax's Europe correspondent Nick Miller has just spoken to a psychologist in Paris, who has spent a sleepless night counselling survivors of the deadly attacks.

Dr Jardon Vincent says may of the survivors are in utter shock. "They feel it was like a film, a dream, a nightmare," he said.

Some survivors were just blank with horror, others were screaming and crying. There is sorrow but "not much anger, not yet," Dr Vincent said.

The psychologist fears that post-traumatic stress disorder will follow the attacks for some survivors.

The City of Paris is urging people to donate blood, as 99 people remain critical in hospital after the attacks.

"This was an attack on us all".
