The Wembley Arch will be illuminated in the red, white and blue of the French flag. The French motto, “Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite” will be projected onto the front of the stadium. The words of “La Marseillaise,”France’s national anthem, will be shown on giant screens so that England fans can sing along with their French counterparts.
