France captain Hugo Lloris has thanked England supporters for a "very moving" reception during Tuesday night's friendly at Wembley.
Both sets of fans sang French national anthem La Marseillaise and there was a perfectly observed minute's silence, with the players standing together.
"What they did for us was very strong. It was big of them," said Lloris.
"We have to thank the English for the reception they gave us, for their support."
The Wembley arch was lit up in the blue, white and red of the Tricolore on Tuesday, while a giant mosaic in France's national colours decorated one end of the stadium.
England boss Roy Hodgson and his France counterpart Didier Deschamps embraced before kick-off after joining Football Association president Prince William in laying flowers for those killed.
