It's now been just over three weeks since the terror attack in Manchester, which claimed the lives of 22 people after a home-made bomb was detonated at an Ariana Grande concert.

On Tuesday, England took on France in a friendly football match at the Stade de France. As the teams were led on to the pitch, the French Republic Guard performed a cover of Oasis' "Don't Look Back in Anger" as a tribute to the victims of the recent UK terror attacks.

The song started with the band accompanying a lone singer. By the time he'd reached the chorus, though, the whole crowd had joined in.
