The Times of London quotes Neil Basu, deputy assistant commissioner with the Metropolitan police, who said that crowded events were “right at the top of the agenda” after the Paris attacks.

According to the newspaper, it’s not just France’s football stadiums that will be under police watch during the Euro 2016, but also upcoming large-scale events like Glastonbury.
