Kirsten Somerville, originally from Glasgow, joined friends to celebrate Bastille Day in Nice last night.

The graduate moved to the city to work recently.

Watching the annual fireworks display from a rooftop there was no indication of what was to come. The friends went inside afterwards, where they heard gunshots - it was only when they went to leave the apartment they realised just what had happened.

Kirsten's telling us her story.
