England fans take over London in build-up to Euro 2020 final


England will play in their first ever European final on Sunday, and it's safe to say that fans have been enjoying the occasion just a little bit.
Italy have jetted into London for Sunday's final, and they were given a good taste of what they can expect from the Wembley crowd when fireworks were set off outside their team hotel in the early hours of the morning.

The fireworks haven't stopped since. England fans have descended on London and have completely taken over the place, seeing off can after can ever since the early hours of the morning.
As you might expect, things have got a little out of hand.
There have been reports of supporters invading local restaurants and storming supermarkets as part of their... festivities, and social media is full of videos which show just how messy things are getting already.

Now, there are a lot of videos that we can't show you here.
Footage of a gentleman with a flare stuck in one area of his body (it's up to you to guess where) has been doing the rounds, as has someone being cheered on for getting a very close-up smell of what is obviously plain flour. None of that here, thank you very much.

Renditions of Football's Coming Home, Southgate You're the One and every other football song ever have been plentiful and progressively harder to understand through the beer-soaked autotune.
If this is what it's like before the game, can you imagine what might happen if England actually win?
