UK prime minister to attend England-France match

Prime Minister David Cameron's office says he will join Prince William at the friendly soccer match between England and France in a show of solidarity with France after Friday's attacks.

Police in London promise a robust presence at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday to reassure the public. The match has been the subject of concern because the targets in Paris included Stade de France, where tens of thousands were watching Germany play France.

Scotland Yard says armed police officers will be visible — unusual in a country where many officers don't carry guns.

To underscore solidarity with France, British fans will be encouraged to sing the French national anthem.
