Love notes from Paris to London sweeten referendum debate In a bid to sweeten the debate over Britain's EU membership 'Operation Croissant' volunteers hand out messages of solidarity written on notecards from French nationals to Londoners.

Organisers hope the gesture will encourage Brits on Thursday to vote in favour of remaining in the European Union. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
