U2 were last night joined by Eagles of Death Metal at their rescheduled Paris concert.
Eagles of Death Metal - the band whose gig was targeted during the Paris attacks - made a surprise return to the French capital.

They were invited to perform by U2 during their concert in the city last night, less than a month after the attacks took place.
"They were robbed of their stage three weeks ago and we would like to offer them ours tonight," said U2 frontman Bono.
They came on-stage at the concerts end to perform what was an emotional rendition of Patti Smiths 'People Have The Power'.
Following Monday's gig, EODM singer Jesse Hughes offered his "heartfelt thanks and appreciation" to the Irish band.

Hughes also thanked the people of Paris and the World "who continue to prove that love, joy, and music will always overcome terror and evil".
The concert represented the latest in a series of events marking the recovery of Paris after the attacks; with the first of the three cafes targeted in the assault reopening last Friday.
