		</div><p>French president Francois Hollande has promised the families of those killed and wounded in the Paris attacks that he will do everything to destroy the “army of fanatics” responsible.</p>
<p>Mr Hollande spoke in front of his government, families of the victims and soldiers at a memorial service inside the courtyard of the Invalides national monument.</p>
<p>The names of the 130 dead and their ages were read aloud in a sombre ceremony.</p>
<p>Overwhelmingly young adults in their 20s and 30s, nearly all the victims were killed at a rock concert or on the terraces of bars and restaurants of central Paris.</p>
<p>Mr Hollande was sitting alone in a simple chair in the Invalides courtyard, an assembled crowd of mourners behind him.</p>
<p>Windows across France were draped with French flags in an uncharacteristic display of patriotism, but the locked-down ceremony lacked the defiance of January, when a million people marched through the streets to honour those killed in the Charlie Hebdo attacks.</p>
<p>France’s military provided the only images of Friday’s ceremony, and no one without an invitation was permitted inside.</p>
<p>Three teams of suicide bombers and gunmen struck across Paris on November 13, beginning at the national stadium – where Mr Hollande was among the spectators &#8211; and ending in the storming of the Bataclan concert venue.</p>
<p>The French national anthem played by a military band closed the ceremony honouring the dead, and Mr Hollande left the Invalides monument walking alone.</p>
<p>He announced on Thursday that Russia and France will co-ordinate their military strikes against Islamic State, which claimed responsibility for the attacks.</p>
<p>Speaking after talks in Moscow with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, Mr Hollande also emphasised his own view that Syrian president Bashar Assad has no place in the country’s future.</p>
