William leads more tributes to Paris

The Duke of Cambridge, President of the Football Association, has joined tributes to those killed and injured in the Paris attacks at the England-France friendly at Wembley tonight.  William carried a wreath of tricolor flowers on to the pitch before the game began alongside Didier Deschamps and Roy Hodgson before the game began.

William is at Wembley along with Prime Minister, David Cameron, and Leader of the Opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, to join fans from England in showing his support for the French team, its supporters and all those affected by the attacks which left 129 people dead. Wembley's famous arch was lit red, white and blue and William watched as the teams stood arm in arm and the Marsellaise rang around the stadium in an emotional tribute.


Earlier today, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited the French Embassy in London to sign the book of condolence and make their own tribute to those killed and injured in the attacks. 


Their message read 'To all those who have died and were injured in the heartless attacks in Paris, and to all the people in France. Nos plus sinceres condolences.' It was signed William and Catherine.
