Eleven people have been struck by lightning in a Paris park after a sudden spring storm overtook a child's birthday party.

The victims, which include eight children, sought shelter on Saturday under a tree at Park Monceau when the storm suddenly rolled in.

Six of those electrocuted were seriously hurt including four children and two adults - and four of them were in life-threatening condition.
