DOZENS of people have signed a book of condolence opened by Glasgow City Council.
A spokeswoman said there had been a steady stream of visitors going to the city chambers in George Square yesterday after the book honouring the French terror victims was officially opened shortly after 10.30am.
Lord Provost Sadie Docherty was the first to sign.
She said: "It's a very difficult time for the people of Paris and France.
"The sympathies of the people of Glasgow are with everyone in France."
Ms Docherty said she was proud of the people of Glasgow who turned out on the steps of Buchanan Galleries to 'show their solidarity' on Saturday night.
She added: "I would encourage people to sign the condolence book."
The book is expected to remain open in the council offices indefinitely. A spokesman said it would remain for as long as people wanted to sign it.
As a minute's silence was held at 11am, scores of passengers and staff stood on the main concourse of Queen Street station with their heads bowed.
A brief announcement echoed on the tannoy at 10.58am telling commuters they would be honouring those killed in the Paris atrocities and asking passengers to join in the silence.
Staff in high visibility jackets came down from offices and stood alongside passengers and a policewoman.
The silence ended with an announcement thanking everyone for taking part.
Much of George square was cordoned off by scaffolding as contractors began erecting Glasgow's Christmas celebrations.
One of the workers said they would be observing the silence and work would temporarily halt.
He said: 'We've not had anything official but we've just been discussing it and we will observe the silence.'
