People are using chalk to write messages of peace and resilience on Bourse Square in Brussels
People in Brussels are gathering in one of the city's major public squares to write messages of peace and resilience on the road in response to multiple attacks that rocked the capital on Tuesday morning.
The square, next to the popular tourist attraction - Brussels Stock Exchange - has been turned into a canvas for chalk artwork and messages by Belgians who are in shock after dozens of people were killed or injured following two explosions at Zaventem Airport and the Maelbeek metro station.

"We are not born to one corner. The whole world is my native land."
Messages have been written in multiple languages
"Lavie est Belge" and "Bxl mon amour" translate from French to English as "life is Belgium" and "Belgium my love."
