French president Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Theresa May are both expected to attend the match at the Stade de France, according to Macron's own diary. In addition to the minute's silence, the English national anthem will be played after that of France, in a reversal of the usual protocol. The French anthem was also played before English Premier League games the following weekend. "I encourage those who will be at the stadium — if the English anthem is sung, everyone should join in," France's Blaise Matuidi said at a press conference on Sunday. Before the minute's silence on Tuesday evening, the two sets of players will mix together in a sign of unity, rather than face each other in their opposing line-ups.
