Eiffel Tower goes dark to honour Sri Lanka attack victims

(UTV|COLOMBO) – At the stroke of midnight on Sunday (21) in Paris, the Eiffel Tower went dark to honour the more than 200 people who died in the Sri Lanka bomb attacks.

It’s a move the Operators of the iconic landmark often make in tribute to causes and calamities.

“Tonight, from 12:00 AM, I will turn my lights off to pay tribute to the victims of the Sri Lanka attack,” a post on the tower’s Twitter account said.

At least 290 people were killed and 500 more injured in a series of explosions across Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, one of the most sacred days of the year for Christians.
