Paris Attacks: French and British fans sing La Marseillaise together at Wembley Stadium.

I was at this game at Wembley when they played the anthem. I'm pretty sure I heard every Englishman try to sing along to the anthem (even with their butchered pronouciation) in support of the French after the Paris attacks. It was a very very surreal moment. I'll never forget it.

This act of kindness from England is heart warming

France and England: friends when it matters most

[chriss]

I was there. As soon as I heard confirmation that the game was still going to go ahead, I bought 2 tickets for my then 11 year old son and I to go. We wore our England tops and bought French scarves outside of the stadium. The score didn't matter, it was all about standing with our French brothers and sisters. 
Will never forget singing La Marseillaise with the rest of the stadium. Goosebumps each time I see the footage now.
Every French face around us belted that anthem out to announce they will never be defeated by the evil that was visited upon them that week in Paris. The emotion had the tears falling down my face as my son looked up at me, piecing it all together.
As an Englishman, it was an honour to be there that day. Vive La France!

Speaking as an Englishman I really love the French! They are the annoying brother in a dysfunctional family. We squabble over trivial issues and convince ourselves we are better then each other.
However when faced with the threat of extremism. We will always be there to help our neighbor, 'the old enemy', our friend across the water.
Our values and beliefs are what joins us. We are free and we are not afraid!

I was there with a French colleague. He cried his eyes out. A truly special moment

England and France, we may squabble, we may argue, we may fight each other but against fascism and terrorism we will be brothers in arms .
