Football fans across the country are set to fill pubs and restaurants tonight as England's men's side bid to win their first major competition in almost 60 years.

In a show of support for the team ahead of the Euro 2024 final against Spain in Berlin this evening, Southend Council will be lighting up the Civic Centre, City Beach fountains and Porters with the colours of St George's Cross.
