Watch: The Simpsons pay tribute to Charlie Hebdo

A new episode of The Simpsons, which was aired on Sunday night in the US, ended with a tribute to the victims of the terrorist attack on the satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo.

The episode, entitled Bart's Best Friend, was written by the Hollywood director Judd Apatow in 1990, very soon after the cartoon series first began broadcasting as a stand-alone show.

Telegraph.co.uk reports that last Sunday's episode ended with an image of baby Maggie against a red white and blue background, waving a flag which read "Je Suis Charlie".

The Simpsons are the latest animators and cartoonists to respond to last week's terrorist attack in Paris with their artwork.
