A tribute is being held for three police officers who died in the Paris terror attacks last week.
French President François Hollande comforted the mother of policewoman Clarissa Jean-Philippe, who was killed during three days of violence in the French capital.
Hollande led the ceremony in the courtyard of the Prefecture de Police, Paris' police headquarters, where he vowed that France would "never yield" to terror in an emotional tribute to the officers.
The president laid the Legion d'honneur medal, the country's highest decoration, on coffins draped in the French flag as the families of the victims looked on.
"Our great and beautiful France will never break, will never yield, never bend" in the face of the Islamist threat that is "still there, inside and outside" the country, said Hollande.
Two policemen, Franck Brinsolaro, 49 and Muslim officer Ahmed Merabet, 40, were killed during a terror attack on the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which left 12 dead.
The funeral took place in Paris on Tuesday of Ahmed Merabet.
Meanwhile, In Israel, thousands of mourners gathered at a cemetery for the funeral of Yoav Hattab, 22, Philippe Braham, 45, Yohan Cohen, 23, and Francois-Michel Saada, 64, who were killed during a siege at a kosher supermarket in Paris.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told mourners that world leaders were "starting to understand that this terror committed by extremist Islam represents a clear and present threat to peace in the world in which we live."
They are among 17 people who were killed in multiple terror attacks carried out last week by Islamic fighters claiming allegiance to al Qaeda and the Islamic State jihadist groups.
The supermarket killer, Amedy Coulibaly, and the Charlie Hebdo gunmen, Said and Cherif Kouachi, were killed in quick succession in two police raids on Friday.
France is mobilising 10,000 troops to boost security after the deadly attacks.
Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said troops would be in place from Tuesday evening in sensitive areas.
Meanwhile, the hunt continues for what the French prime minister called a "probably accomplice" to the three days of bloodshed in the capital.
Manuel Valls said the search is urgent because "the threat is still present" after the attacks.
