FRENCH Prime Minister Manuel Valls was dramatically booed by hundreds of mourners today as he arrived for a memorial to the Nice massacre victims.

Mr Valls felt the full wrath of the public who accuse the government of a series of security failings that allowed three major terror attacks over the last 18 months.

The French PM arrived to a hostile welcome for a minute's silence in honour of the 84 victims of the ISIS truck fanatic - while the emergency services received a resounding cheer.

President Francois Hollande's Socialist administration has come in for blistering criticism over last week's deadly attack after it emerged there were just one cop on duty for every 600 revellers.

Nice resident Isabel, who declined to give her surname, said she did not boo but understood why tensions are running high.

The 60-year-old said: "They want him (Mr Valls) to resign because he didn't put enough police on on the day. I was there (on Thursday) and didn't see police.

"It's terrible to say but we need a stronger prime minister with laws against radicalism. I am very sad. It (the attack) has broken families apart for nothing."
