Karl, Berkhamsted - Stand up tall! Can you feel that? That is the touch of history upon your shoulders. Moore, Charlton, Stiles reaching out around this stadium to you, you this England team now. You've done this, you've got us here and when that final whistle blows make sure you've done it again and history is lifting you up on its shoulders. This is your game. Win it!
Tony, Wycombe - Few can name all the semi final team from Italia 90 or Euro 96. All can name the line up from 66. You have made history in reaching the final. But you have the chance to become immortal.
Ste, Teeside - Stand up tall, puff out your chests and give it to them hard. It's coming home boys no surrender

More from England defender John Stones now...
The Manchester City player says he would "love" to see teammate Raheem Sterling named as the Player of the Tournament.
"I'm a big fan of Raheem," said Stones.
"I'd love to see him get player of the tournament. The unselfish part of his game goes unspoken about.
"It’s been great playing with him and I'm sure he will be giving everything and hopefully get another goal and see where it takes us."
England v Italy (Sun, 20:00 BST)
As a player, captain, fan and pundit I've had so many big moments with England, but Sunday's European Championship final at Wembley will be the biggest of them all.
I'm 50 and we've not been to a major men's final before in my lifetime. There are generations who are the same, who have never seen us get here before.
Waiting so long makes it feel even more special now we have made it - to be honest it is still sinking in.
Whether it be European Championships or World Cups, we've got used to labelling each finals by a disappointment - by remembering what went wrong or the moment where we were unlucky each time.

My England Team Talk: We have planned, talked, trained, organised, laughed, cheered and played... together, as a team. We have made millions smile, celebrate and forget their troubles for a while ... as a team. We have made the final.... because we are a good team. Now go and win this game to show the world, the fans and most of all yourselves, that we are a really great team. History beckons, and history is written by the victors.

Speaking of the veteran Italian defenders...
Leonardo Bonucci has been speaking today, and it seems he was in a joyful mood. He joked about his and defensive partner Giorgio Chiellini's age as they prepare to face England in Sunday's Euro 2020 final.
Bonucci, 34, and Chiellini, 36, know they'll have to be wary of the pace of Raheem Sterling and Bukayo Saka at Wembley.
"It is youngsters against old men," Bonucci told a news conference on Friday. "They have very strong attackers, we will need great attention towards them and the whole team.
"We know the difficulties they can give us and we will have to be careful about their speed."
The Juventus pair are still renowned as two of the best defenders in the world, but Bonucci has lauded both Harry Maguire and John Stones.
"England have a super defence, I already said this during the qualifying phase," he added. "They have an excellent midfield, and behind them are (Harry) Maguire and (John) Stones who had great seasons at Manchester United and City.
"We will need to give great attention as a defence and show a lot of cunning to score in attack."
England v Italy (Sun, 20:00 BST)
With fans having returned to Wembley during the tournament, England defender John Stones says the players have "thrived" off their presence at Wembley.
"We have definitely thrived off the fans," he said. "We cannot thank them for their support through the good times and the bad times. They turn up home and away and their support is key to us as players. We'll be playing for them again on Sunday."
On Italy's centre-back pairing of Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci: "I admire what they have done in their careers and how they go about their game as professionals.
"This will be my first time up against them and it will be a special occasion to play against so many good players, who have won a lot of things in their careers. To still be playing at the level they are is definitely something I admire."
England v Italy (Sun, 20:00 BST)
Speaking about facing Italy in the final, the defender says both teams "deserve to be there."
"There's two teams in this final and we both deserve to be there," said Stones.
"Italy are defensively solid and a side that have lots of attacking flair.
"That's what you want as a footballer, as a professional, to come up against these sort of teams and prove to yourself that you can outshine them, or come out of yourself or be yourself in these sort of big occasions and we definitely thrive off that.
"I definitely do and I'm really excited for Sunday."
England v Italy (Sun 20:00 BST)
John Stones says England's first major men's final since 1966 will be "even more special" with it being held on home soil at Wembley.
"It's huge and with it being at Wembley as well, it's even more special," he said.
"I think it's something we only could have dreamt of at the start of the tournament. We're here to try and win it and we've got this far now and I think we've just grown and grown throughout the tournament.
"Not put too much pressure on ourselves, we've overcome some tough tests in the past few years, learnt a lot of things and gained a lot of experience from them, which has got us to where we are on Sunday."
England v Italy (Sun, 20:00 BST)
Speaking about the manager, England defender John Stones says Gareth Southgate has a "unique quality".
"He has a unique quality of staying calm in situations and it passes through the time," said Stones.
"The other day was the first time we have been to et and no one panicked. We stayed to the game plan and it worked well for us.
"Keeping a clear head and going about our business, as we have done, is so professional. we cover every aspect of a game and there is a big prize at the end of this one."
As promised, time to hear from John Stones...

West Ham have just finished their first pre-season friendly, against Scottish side Dundee.

England's 1966 winner Sir Geoff Hurst is confident about the Three Lions' chances on Sunday - though he does not think anyone will repeat his hat-trick heroics from 55 years ago.
"What are our chances? Good. We have got a very good team, we've been doing very well, well managed, and right from the start I've felt we had a good bunch of players, a lot of very good young players.
"I always felt we had a chance and that hasn't changed. I always felt right from the beginning the team that beat Italy would win it because they are very strong as well.
"I think the best two teams are in the final. (Playing) against a great country in Italy, and a great footballing nation, it should be a great final.
"I predict it is going to be a very tight game between two fantastic teams. I can't see a a 4-2 scoreline like we saw in 66. That would be a big shock really.
"You can't see either team conceding that amount of goals. It will be very hard - as it's proved for the last 55 years - for a player to score three. But I've had a great record and someone's got to do it (one day).
"But it's not about an individual scoring three. It is just about, as it has been right the way through, a great team winning."
