The French Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, was also booed at the ceremony as tensions in the French seaside city ran high following Friday's attack.
"I was born in France, you tell me to go back to my country, but my country is France," another woman replied, clearly startled by his comments.
Crowds had gathered to pay tribute to the 84 people — including as many as 10 children — who died in the attack on Thursday. More than 200 people were also injured after a man, identified as Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, drove a truck through crowds celebrating Bastille Day in the southern French city.
Throughout the commemoration, the crowd's atmosphere was perceptibly tense. "I cannot stay here," a person who wished to remain anonymous told BuzzFeed News. "It's disgusting."
