Football fans have booed and jeered a minute's silence that was held in memory of the people who lost their lives in the Paris terrorist attacks.

At least 132 people were killed during a series of attacks in the French capital on Friday and militant group IS have claimed responsibility for the atrocity.

The Republic of Ireland hosted Bonia & Herzegovina in a Euro 2016 play-off at the Aviva Staidum, Dublin on Tuesday night but the pre-planned moment of reflection was disrespected by a minority of those in attendance.

The crowd initially took several moments to quieten down before the referee blew his whistle to begin the silence, but booing could soon be heard once it had started.

The noise was believed to have been generated in the away end of the stadium.

Jeers and chanting were also distinguishable while some members of the crowd urged those making the noise to remain silent.

Fans then began to clap before referee Bjorn Kuipers appeared to cut the 60 seconds short, which prompted large sections of the crowd to boo in what seemed to be an attempt to condemn those who had failed to observe the silence.
