A Glasgow woman has described the terrifying moment a lorry drove through a crowd of people in a suspected terrorist attack in Nice.

Tracy Findlater, an engineering technician from Glasgow, was eating dinner with her partner Lesley Eadie just off the Promenade of de Anglais when the attack happened.

The 48-year-old told the Evening Times of the moment screams rang out in the street as a lorry ploughed through a crowd of people celebrating the national holiday of Bastille Day.

She said: "“All of a sudden people were running up the street - the noise of screaming and glasses smashing was unbelievable,” she said.

“We didn't have a clue what had happened, but everyone piled into the restaurant and waited.

“I thought it might have just been panic because of rogue fireworks or something. But the guy in the restaurant said there had been shots fired.

“About five minutes later we quickly headed back to our apartment.

“If we hadn't been late out for dinner, we would have been there watching the fireworks. That’s the scariest part.

“There were so many babies and children still out too and a little old lady in a wheelchair who got caught in the panic.

“It's very surreal here today. Lots of stunned faces and women crying quietly in cafes.”

84 people have been confirmed dead, including several children, and more than 50 remain in a serious condition in hospital when a lorry was driven into a crowd of people celebrating the national holiday of Bastille Day. 

A lorry zig-zagged through a crowd gathered after the end of a firework display on the seafront in Nice marking France's day of independence, Bastille Day.

The identity of the driver is currently unknown however papers secured from the vehicle were of a 31-year-old French-Tunisian, according to an unnamed police source. 

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said Scotland will stand in solidarity with it's oldest ally France as Scots paid tributes to those who lost their lives.
