A tourist captured this incredible picture of a 4 metre shark coming out of the water in South Africa. Sam Perrin from London decided to go shark cage diving to overcome her fear after watching the movie Jaws as a child.

When it slammed into the cage, it was like being hit by a scooter or a moped. The force was incredible."

Days after the attacks killed 34 people and injured over 300, security levels have been lowered, but on the Easter Sunday following the attacks, the city still remains on edge.

Meanwhile police used water cannons on a group of the few hundred right-wing demonstrators who descended upon the peaceful ongoing vigil on the Place de la Bourse. (Photo by Adam Berry/Getty Images)
