The arch at Wembley Stadium was illuminated in the colors of the Turkish flag Sunday to show solidarity with Turkey in the wake of a deadly terror attack in Istanbul the previous day.

“Wembley’s arch is red tonight as a mark of respect and sympathy following the attacks outside Besiktas’ stadium in Turkey yesterday,” the English Football Association said on its official Twitter account.

At least 38 victims were killed in the attack, including 30 police officers and seven civilians, according to Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu. One victim has yet to be identified, he said.
