A Paris terror attack victim has been named as Valentin Ribet, a former London School of Economics (LSE) student.
The university announced on Twitter that Mr Ribet, a Business Law graduate, had died.
In white writing laid over a peace sign incorporating the Eiffel tower, the university wrote: “We have learned of some very sad news from our
LSE alumni community, following the attacks in Paris.
“Valentin Ribet, a graduate of the LLM in International Business Law (2014), who had been working in Paris, has passed away.
“Our hearts are filled with sadness at this news.”
James Walters, Chaplain and Interfaith Adviser at LSE, posted online: “Praying for the repose of the soul of Valentin Ribet (LSE 2014) Love is stronger than hate Life is stronger than death #Praying4Paris.”
Mr Ribet, 26, was a “talented lawyer” in the Paris office of international law firm Hogan Lovells.
A company spokesman said: “Hogan Lovells is greatly saddened by the loss of Valentin Ribet.
“Valentin was at the Bataclan concert hall on Friday night and he was killed in the attack that took place there.
“This is an awful tragedy and hard for any of us to truly comprehend. We are shocked by both our loss and the wider events in the city.
“Valentin worked in the litigation team, specialising in white collar crime. He was a talented lawyer, extremely well liked, and a wonderful personality in the office.
“Our thoughts at this time are with Valentin and his family as well as with his colleagues in the office and across the firm.”
