The Prime Minister stood at the football ground as England and France paid tribute to the victims of five gun and bombing attacks in the French capital on Friday by singing the French national anthem, La Marseillaise.
Mr Cameron could be seen welling up as the stadium burst into applause at the end of the anthem. He said he was “proud” to have joined the thousands of football fans uniting to sing the anthem.
Earlier on Tuesday, BBC reporter Graham Satchell became emotional as he reported live from the scene of tributes to the victims in Paris.
Satchell spoke of Parisians’ renewed sense of hope in the days after the massacre while standing next to flowers, cards and messages paying tribute to the victims. His voice broke as he talked about the tributes across the city, before he placed his head in his hands and ended the broadcast.
His was praised for showing such a human response to the tragedy by moved viewers.
