The emotion has been raw and heartfelt from the word go. With Bono addressing the crowd as the band arrived on stage.

Arrivée de U2 au son de "People have the power" de Patti Smith. Bono: "Vive la France...La plus belle salle du monde". #U2 @AccorH_Arena

There's no doubt that Raised by Wolves has a particular resonance this evening.

"The worst things in the world are justified by belief." Passionate version of Raised By Wolves tonight. #U2ieTour #U2 #strongerthanfear

In a beautiful twist, the fan who joined U2 on stage, was Brigitte, a Parisian who'd been called up earlier in the tour at Montreal!

A truly beautiful & poignant tribute to those no longer with us.
