Armed police and the SAS are on standby for a shoot to kill showdown at tonight’s friendly game between France and England at Wembley . Thousands of fans are expected to show of solidarity against Friday’s terror attacks in Paris.
Prime Minister, David Cameron and Prince William will be at the high profile match tonight which will have the tightest security at a sports event in the UK. London Mayor, Boris Johnson will also be at the match. France have been picking up the pieces of last weeks massacre that saw 129 people loose their lives in a co-ordinated attack at various venues in Paris that was carefully planned. One bomb exploded right outside a football stadium where a friendly match was taking place between Germany and France.
The 90,000 auditorium in Wembley will have SAS floating all around it, ready to kill any persons who pose a security threat to the international friendly. Fans are expected to prepare themselves for thorough searches by an acutely alert police and security force.

The international friendly is expected to involve one of the tightest security operations ever seen at a sporting event, with armed police, thorough searches of fans and 5,000 troops on standby.
In an unprecedented move, SAS units are also expected to be patrolling the 90,000-seater stadium who will have orders to shoot to kill if terrorists strike as the two nations go head-to-head. Initial fears that fans may be too scared to attend where proved wrong by a rise in sales in the last few days , with more than 10,000 tickets sold in the last few days compared to initial expectations.
It is likely to be an electric atmosphere full of action, as people converge in solidarity to express their determination to go on with life despite the atrocities that shook the foundation of France last weekend.
