A free fanzone will be set up in a Lancashire park for Sunday's Euro 2024 final.
It will be opened at Alkincoates Park in Colne after the already-planned family fun day.
Blackpool Tower will also be illuminated in the colours of the national flag and the resort’s promenade will be decked with decorations throughout the weekend, displaying a 'Come On England' message.
Other local landmarks, including the Winter Gardens, will also be lit in red, as the town hosts a number of fan zones.
