As the news filters through about the stadium evacuation in Hannover ahead of the scheduled friendly between Germany and the Netherlands, which has now been called off, the sounds of Wembley's increased security operation are in the air.

The roar of helicopters circling above Wembley can be heard and police with sniffer dogs have been at the stadium since early this morning.

BBC London's Anjana Gadgil: "I was at St Pancras this morning, meeting French football fans as they came off the Eurostar. I got talking to Rached Khaouf and Charif Attar, two young men from Paris.

"Charif was at the Stade de France on Friday and heard the explosions, but he didn’t realise what they were until he started to receive texts from his friends. Charif told me he does feel afraid going to Wembley this evening – but he has to confront his fear and carry on with his life. Rached says he doesn’t feel afraid, the terrorists must be re-educated."

France's players will represent their country with greater pride than ever tonight, says manager Didier Deschamps.

France's game with Germany at the Stade de France was targeted in the attacks and Deschamps and his squad have had an intense few days.

"We are here to represent our country and its colours blue, white and red with even more pride than we normally would," said Deschamps.

"It has been a difficult, stressful time, but we have been together and each of us, in our way, has kept up to date with the events.

"Each player and individual has dealt with this in their own way. The main thing is that we have kept together and shared our grief.

"The match will be full of emotion but we have a duty to perform and give a good account of ourselves and represent our country in the right way."

On Friday night, an international friendly between France and Germany came under global scrutiny - for all the wrong reasons.

Four people were killed outside the Stade de France and across the city of Paris a total of 129 people were killed in attacks.

Tonight, it is Wembley which will be in focus as the France team face England in what promises to be an emotional night for all involved.

"I can't deny there's something hanging over which is far, far greater than a football match," said England manager Roy Hodgson.

Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn added that the game would have "massive global significance".

England boss Hodgson added: "That will be lingering whether we like it or not. I've never been in a football game like this before."
