Minute's silence at Stade de France in memory of Paris attacks

A minute's silence was held at the Stade de France stadium near Paris, ahead of France's World Cup qualifier against Sweden on Friday.

The silence marked the first anniversary of the Paris attacks, in which 130 people were killed after gunmen and suicide bombers targeted Paris bars and restaurants.

They also attacked the stadium where Les Bleus were playing a friendly against Germany.

French president Francois Hollande attended the match, and was present last year when the attack happened.

He told French TV: "We have to remember. One year ago, almost to the day, we were here for a friendly game and three bombs were detonated, with one man being killed.

"We have to remember there were 130 people who died and hundreds of others who were injured. For them and for those who survived we must remember."

Security at the game on Friday was tight, with some 1,200 stewards and 400 police officers deployed in and around the Stade de France.

France captain Hugo Lloris told reporters: "We the players and all those who were in the stadium that day, we are all linked by this tragedy."

"It's a tragic event but as we use to say, we have to look forward and try to turn the page, even if this event will be engraved in our memories."
