In Paris, the families, friends and colleagues of three police officers killed in last week's Islamist attacks gathered to say farewell.
President Francois Hollande presented each of the officers with the country's highest honour - the Legion d'honneur - pinning a badge on each of the coffins in a final salute.
President Hollande says the officers each made the ultimate sacrifice.
"I express my gratitude and also my pride. Because of you, with you, France is still standing. Long live the republic, long live France."
Meanwhile, in Israel, thousands of mourners gathered at a cemetery for the funeral of four Jewish men who were killed at a kosher supermarket during the siege that followed the Charlie Hebdo shootings.
Israel's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu attended the service, telling mourners the victims' lives had been "cut down by hatred".
"I have been saying it for many years and I will say it again here. These are not enemies of the Jewish people alone. They are enemies of all of humanity and the time has come for all enlightened people to unite and uproot these enemies from our midst."
Speaking at the funeral, Valerie Braham, the widow of one victim, Philippe Braham, said she was still in shock.
"I am crying but I know that you are all crying with me and I thank all of you, for all of this. I wouldn't have believed all of this. Phillipe, protect me."
Meanwhile, the first front cover of Charlie Hebdo since the attack has been produced, showing a crying Prophet Mohammed above the slogan "All is Forgiven".
It's been reproduced by media around the world.
But major media in many Arab, African and Asian countries, haven't shown the cover, because many devout Muslims view any depiction of their prophet as forbidden.
Speaking at a press conference, Charlie Hebdo cartoonist, Renald Luzier, says the decision to depict the Prophet on the cover was obvious.
"We are above all cartoonists who like to draw little characters just like when we were kids. And by the way, the terrorists, they were once children, they did drawings too. Like us. Like every child. So at some point they lost their sense of humour, they lost their child soul, which allows people to see the world from a distance. Because that's what Charlie is about, to look at the world with a bit of distance. Then there was nothing but that for the cover idea. This idea of drawing Mohammed. I am Charlie."
In another development, new video has emerged showing the immediate aftermath of the attacks on the Charlie Hebdo offices.
The video, shot from a rooftop near the magazine's Paris office shows the brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi driving their black getaway car down a narrow street.
After being blocked by police, the men got out of the car and began firing at the police vehicle, which can be seen reversing away.
The men were later killed by police gunfire after a siege at Danmartin en Goele.
