Scene at Stade de France
00:40 GMT - AFP reporters on the scene say the glamour friendly between France and world champions Germany began as usual in front of a massive crowd of 80,000 when the stands shook.
"It's a big firework," said one spectator. "It must be those teams that detonate suspicious packages," commented another fan.
But the match went on as normal. Two entrances nearest the explosions were closed off and during the second half news started flowing in on mobile phones, although the size of the attacks was not yet clear. At the end of the match, the organisers simply said that "following an incident outside the stadium" spectators must leave through specific exits. The evacuation was calm and quiet as the gravity of the attacks became clearer. -
