'OUR SADNESS IS INDEFINABLE'

Mourner who lost SIX family members in ISIS Bastille Day truck attack breaks down as she pays tribute to loved ones

A MOURNER who lost SIX family members in the Bastille Day truck attack broke down in tears as she paid tribute to her loved ones today.

France today remembered the 86 victims killed when an ISIS fanatic ploughed into crowds watching fireworks on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice.

Cindy Pelligrini, who lost six family members on July 14, said her “sadness is undefinable”.

She also spoke to other victim’s families and those injured in the sickening attack at an event overlooking the scene of the massacre.

French President Francois Hollande, main political leaders and Nice local authorities joined the families of the dead, injured victims and religious representatives to remember those who died three months ago.



Mourners placed 86 white roses, for each victim, at the vigil on the centre of the ceremony square as their names were read out.

Cindy recalled France’s motto “liberty, equality, fraternity” as she gave a speech to the masses.

She added: “Our sadness is indefinable. How to live with physical wounds? How to live with moral wounds?”

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.”
