England and France football teams to pay tribute

November 18, 2015 01:27

England and France will pay tribute to the 129 people killed in the Paris attacks before Tuesday's international football friendly at Wembley.

The 90,000 capacity crowd is expected to sing La Marseillaise - the French national anthem - in front of the Duke of Cambridge and Prime Minister David Cameron.

The French Football Federation chose to go ahead with the fixture.

France's game with Germany at the Stade de France was targeted in the attacks.

Before kick-off, flowers will be laid at the side of the pitch by a number of dignitaries and the opposing managers, England's Roy Hodgson and France boss Didier Deschamps.

The teams will be led out by a blue, white and red flag with the French motto 'liberte, egalite, fraternite' on it.
