Couple pay tribute to England squad with giant mural on wall outside their house

A couple paid tribute to Gareth Southgate, Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling ahead of England's Euro 2020 final with a huge mural on a wall outside of their house.

Kate and Paul Williams, 43 and 49, asked street artists Nathan Parker - aka N4T4, to create the piece to help them celebrate England's progress.

It has turned the wall, at their home in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, into a hotspot for fans who have been visiting "in droves" to see the mural.

Kate said: "He woke up after the semi-finals and said 'I have had a dream' and the dream was we have got to decorate that wall.

"He said he wanted something amazing, and said 'if they build it they will come' and said he wanted something historic and about the moment."

"The community went going crazy for it - coming in their droves, pipping horns , photos galore, music playing, its brought the community together.

"They're seeing what art can do too, that's what's happened, ultimately, and football has brought everyone together.

"The husband's dream was a pretty good one to have, I'll let him have that one."
