How Sydney paid tribute to the cafe siege hostages

Florists near the scene of the deadly siege in Sydney have run out of stock as people lay hundreds of flowers outside the cafe where three people were killed.

Iranian refugee Haron Monis, 50, seized dozens of hostages early on Monday.

Cafe manager Tori Johnson, 34, and lawyer Katrina Dawson, 38, died in the siege.

The lone gunman was also killed after commandoes stormed the Lindt cafe in the centre of the Australian city.

People have been queuing to lay flowers outside the Lindt cafe on Martin Place, where the siege took place.

Australia's prime minister Tony Abbott was among the people paying their respects along with his wife Margie Abbott. They both wrote in the book of condolence.

The hashtag #illridewithyou went viral following the siege to show support for Muslims in Australia who are afraid of an Islamophobic backlash.
