I thought this warranted its own thread due to what The FA will be doing in light of the Paris attacks, and the added security.
Within the stadium, The FA have planned some special things for both England and France supporters.

Within the stadium, The FA have planned some special things for both England and France supporters.
Before kick-off The FA plans to appropriately remember Friday's Paris incidents and encourages England fans to support the following initiatives:
- England fans are asked to respect the French national anthem, La Marseillaise, the words of which will be displayed on screens inside the arena
- La Marseillaise will be sung after God Save the Queen, in a change of protocols
- Materials will be on seats in the east side (England Home End) of the stadium, which will form the French Tricolore when fans hold them aloft during the anthem
- A minute's silence will be observed prior to kick-off
- Please ensure that you take your seats no later than 7.55pm to observe the minute’s silence and national anthems
- Both teams will wear black armbands during the game
- The England team will make a gesture of solidarity to the French team prior to kick-off
- The FA will also continue to light the Wembley Arch in the blue, white and red of the Tricolore, as well as displaying the national motto of France, Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité, which stands for liberty, equality and fraternity.

Speaking outside Scotland Yard's headquarters, Mr Terry said: "People travelling to and from the ground will see additional police officers at transport modes, they will see additional police officers on the walk up Olympic Way to the stadium, and in and around the stadium they will see armed officers, which is something they wouldn't normally see.
"I won't say that's the first time it's been deployed at a football match, but you will see officers out on foot carrying firearms."
