CIVIC buildings in Cheshire West will be flying the St George’s Flag and be illuminated in red and white this weekend as England take on Spain in the Euro 2024 Final.

Gareth Southgate’s men booked their place in the final with a 2-1 victory over the Netherlands on Wednesday night (July 10).

A penalty from Harry Kane and a sharp swivel and finish by Ollie Watkins in the 90th minute cancelled out Xavi Simons’ seventh minute opener for the Dutch.

Cllr Gittin said: “I’d like to congratulate the England team for getting to the final of Euro 2024.

“To celebrate that the Council is going to be flying the England flag on its civic buildings and also lighting them up in red and white.

“It’s a fantastic achievement and something to really celebrate. So come on, England, bring it home.”

Fans will be hoping that the England can triumph over Luis de la Fuente’s Spain side at the Olympiastadion in the German capital.
