Don’t look back in anger: France, England players walk out to Oasis song
Tributes paid to victims of London and Manchester terror attacks ahead of friendly at Stade de France
In an emotional show of support for the victims of the recent attacks in Manchester and London, France and England players walked out to the sound of “Don’t Look Back in Anger” from Oasis moments before Tuesday’s friendly at Stade de France.
The famed pop anthem was played by the musicians and the choir of the French Republican Guard, with the lead singer in uniform playing a guitar.
As he started singing the song, pockets of England fans joined in, some with their arms raised.
The two big screens at the stadium projected the red and white Cross of St George and giant flags from both countries were rolled out onto the field.

There was huge applause rippling around the stadium after the iconic song – which enjoyed worldwide success in 1995.
