    Northampton couple Emma Clayson, 30, and Jamie Nash, 33, will tie the knot today.

    Rather than risking guests being distracted on their phones, they have paid to have a large screen showing the final.

    They will celebrate their first wedding dance just 20 minutes before Harry Kane and his team kick off in Germany.

    Somehow I’ve booked a trip to Italy to arrive at 5.20pm today to Verona, Italy. Quick scramble on a bus/train over to Desenzano needed, to find a bar showing football before kick off (9pm Italy time). As you can imagine the Mrs is not best pleased but this is history.

    An absolutely brilliant trip, that. We've had some great stories already this weekend and I'm sure there are more to come.

    Keep them coming!

    I've been travelling around Europe with my girlfriend for a month, catching the football with as many countries' locals as possible on the way, watching Austria in Vienna, Denmark in Copenhagen, the Dutch in Netherlands, France in Paris etc. Today? We're back in London waiting for the party. Come on boys, bring it home!

    I am in Hong Kong, about to go to bed around 19:30 local time on Sunday night to be fresh for the 03:00 kick off. I know Spain are the favourites, but I have to believe that England can go one better than 3 years ago

    Now the question is: Do you watch the game on your own, with your family or get all your mates round?

    Factors in this are whether you have a family or you have friends. And whether they want to watch the football with you.

    You might like to watch the game down the pub - but crowds are likely to be big so you might need to get there early to grab a good spot.

    You can go and watch it in a big venue such as Boxpark, or at one of the many fan parks being set up around the country especially for the game.

    If you fancy going out to watch the game and don't want people throwing £7 beers over your head, then you might find your local pub a drier venue.

    How early is too early to get going? This time three years ago I was in full swing. Turning it down a good few notches today.

    We’ve just had the first of what will be many renditions of Three Lions belted out at this England fans zone.

    I’ve been speaking to lots of people who made the last minute dash to be in Berlin for what they hope will be a historic moment.

    They include this family, who are Joe, Jack, Eleanor, Lee and Vanessa. They are enjoying the atmosphere here and feeling confident of an England win, going 2-1.

    England midfielder Declan Rice: "This journey and this road that Gareth Southgate has been on has been so special. Hopefully we can do something special for him for sure and I know for a fact the lads would love him to stay on until 2026, there's no doubt about that.

    "The way he looks after us, how calm he is, how he is as a man-manager, how he is on the training pitch with us, he's top."

  16. Postpublished at 11:54 British Summer Time 14 July

    I hope that whatever happens tonight, and whatever his immediate future is, Gareth Southgate comes home from Germany with more positive memories than negatives.

    He and his side have provided plenty of lasting memories in the last few weeks, that's for sure.

  20. Three kittens? Well watch them roarpublished at 11:49 British Summer Time 14 July

    Remember these guys from the quarter finals against Switzerland?

    Well their sign suggesting the England squad were less Three Lions and more three kittens has inspired a social media campaign in their support.

    Hundreds of England fans have been sharing images of their cats "roaring" ahead of the final later after a post first shared by Robb Corrigan and his pet cat Rolf.

    That even includes the Downing Street cat, Larry, and Gladstone the Treasury mog.

    Although Mr Corrigan admits: "In truth these are mostly yawns, but they look like roars."
