I remember watching this and bawling my eyes out.
Thank you, England.

From France.

That's what you called unity. Good Job England

from the beaches of the Normandy and the eastern front to the National Anthem, England has always been there for France!

I'm a longtime Manchester United fan and I was VERY happy to have seen this last night, no question! Sure, we don't like the French and they don't like us but in times like these, rivalries can be quickly forgotten and we saw the end result last night!! Great job, English fans!! Tip of the cap for that clearly classy gesture on your part! VIVE LE FRANCE! :-)

[sarkozygaming]

that's why we call them frennemies

Such an important and emotional moment. Even with centuries of rivalry - when it really matters these two proud nations stand side by side.

This, right here is the way it should be each and every time . In each and every stadium on every playing field and in every hallway, every street and every where it can be done. It makes no difference, NONE, where or when or how anyone feels about any political or combat situation. WE, are ALL in this and tied to that event on 11/13/205. And if anyone says differently then you don't need to be on line at all.ROCK ON ENGLAND AND FRANCE....ROCK ON!!!!

To Canadians like myself this reflects something magical between magical between French and English as Canadians and us quite frankly having French in our blood. My ancestry is practically 100% British and my most trusted friend's heritage, familially is Francophone. However despite the differences between English and French throughout history there is no way in my heart you could ever get me to betray our French brothers ever, and I would hope that it ever anything like World War II threatened France again I would be brave enough as my ancestors before me to fight to liberate her from oppression once more. True patriot love form Canada 2019🇨🇦🇫🇷🇬🇧

You tell a English man in medieval age that in about 1000 years the English would be singing the French anthem... My lord he would have something to say and do.

[davepatton]

This is amazing know how these two countries were enemies until they became friends for good during WW1

Good Job England. i am so proud to be a British National :)

[Bosspigeon]

England's people expressing true feelings, bespite Junkers mocking years later, How we forget.

[lesliepoole]

The commentator at Wembley got it spot on The British /English may not have sung the French anthem very well but we matched 'em for and with heart Never forget took courage for these French players 9 I like to think the English team did their bit too

[tomjames]

First time English fan don’t boo other country’s National anthem such gentleman !

[doctorgroovyproductions]

When English fans were decent and respectful...

[aaronbcj]

How scary this must be for any royals in 18th century to hear this song and afraid of losing their heads...
Even today they don't attend events that might sing this song

[SuperSickNerd]

I wonder how much security is the air?
