The chief executive of the Football Association Martin Glenn has claimed that Tuesday night's international friendly between England and France is a good chance to show that "terrorism can't win" following Friday's attacks in Paris.

Police have confirmed that 129 people died when terrorists targeted six separate locations in the French capital with guns and explosives.

Three suicide bombers blew themselves up outside of the Stade de France when the national team were playing Germany on Friday evening.

The France Football Federation decided to go ahead with the friendly following discussions with the English Football Association.

Armed police will be on duty at Wembley for the match, but Glenn has no security concerns.

"We spoke to the French Federation on Saturday and were in touch with the French presidents' office and there were two conditions to hold the game - UK authorities and government need to make sure it was safe and the French wanted to play," Glenn told reporters. "They wanted to go ahead, for mainly symbolic reasons, and we were very happy to meet their concerns.

"I just want to reconfirm that the security apparatus and the people that advise us say that there is no material risk so the game should go ahead. We would like fans to turn up earlier and we will do more checks.

"This is going to have massive global significance - the first major event since Friday. It is a chance to demonstrate terrorism can't win. We can't afford to let this act of terror cow us."

Both teams will pay tribute to the victims before the match.
