England fans have been queuing outside packed pubs from the crack of dawn ahead of England's Euro 2020 showdown tonight.
Despite kick off at Wembley not until 8pm, Three Lions supporters across the country began the day as early as possible - with lines snaking outside boozers showing the game.
And near Wembley fans climbed on top of a bus with roads brought to a halt.
Punters were even snapped waiting for the Faltering Fullback, in north London's Finsbury Park, to open at 6am - barely an hour after sunrise, such is the appetite for the game.
Journalist Ed Cumming - who posted a photo to Twitter - joked "approach everything with the dedication" shown by the fans outside the popular venue.
Speaking to the London Evening Standard, a staff member at the pub said: “We’re really busy and trying to keep up with everything.
“Honestly it’s amazing. Everyone is singing in the pub and everyone’s just happy to be here.”
There are similar queues outside The Barrel Vault in Kings Cross, and many more.
Those who didn't fancy getting in some pre-match pints have instead taken to the streets with the streets around Wembley stuffed with fans cheering on their team and stopping traffic.
A sea of England shirts has been descending on the ground all day.
The country is gripped with a nervous excitement as the pressure reaches fever pitch with the national team - lead by captain Harry Kane - preparing for its first major final since the World Cup in 1966.
Streets across the country are packed with raucous footie lovers chanting 'it's coming home'.
Queues have been spotted in the likes of Northampton, Brighton, Manchester and Bristol.
The latter's Allstars Sports Bar in Queens Road saw around 400 people lining up to secure a table from 10am.
While some on social media have criticised the overzealous fans and warned them to pace themselves, some have criticised the lack of outdoor fan zones which would have nullified such queues.
One Twitter user wrote: "Many of them will be trying to pace themselves once they're in.
"The problem is that with distancing indoors limiting capacity (justifiable) and a total lack of outdoor fan zones (mad), they don't have any other way left to get into a venue for the game."
Meanwhile, fans were lining up outside the 229 music venue in central London to attend an impromptu gig by The Lightning Seeds which will include a performance of the Three Lions football anthem.
The queue at the venue started growing just before 12pm, with most of the fans clad in England football shirts and flags.
Comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner will reunite with the band to perform their 1996 hit in front of a crowd of 200.
The Lightning Seeds will play a 30-minute set in support of The National Lottery's Revive Live Tour, which will run throughout the summer and see artists perform at hundreds of grassroots music venues throughout the country.
Angie Somerside, from London, who was waiting to watch The Lightning Seeds' gig, worked on promoting the second version of the original song when it came out in 1998 when she was at Sony Records in the marketing department.
She bought the tickets for the gig to take her daughter Lill, 16, because "she likes football and her dad was also in the music video".
She said it has been "emotional" to see the song evolve into what it has: "Not just because I was involved but it's a brilliant song."
Boris Johnson, the Queen, Tom Cruise and Prince William are among those to have shared good luck messages for Gareth Southgate’s team.
In a video shared on Twitter, William, who is also president of the FA, said: "I can’t really believe this is happening. So exciting and I just wish you the very best of luck."
Meanwhile, in a letter addressed to Southgate, the monarch said: "55 years ago I was fortunate to present the World Cup to Bobby Moore and saw what it meant to the players, management and support staff to reach and win the final of a major international football tournament.
"I want to send my congratulations and that of my family to you all on reaching the final of the European Championships, and send my good wishes for tomorrow with the hope that history will record not only your success but also the spirit, commitment, and pride with which you have conducted yourselves."
