Hundreds of football fans joined a 'march for England' through north Manchester this afternoon.

Families paraded through the streets of Newton Heath in support of the Three Lions before their historic Euro 2020 final clash with Italy tonight.

Dozens of children joined in on the fun, and some dogs even went along too.

It comes as hundreds of football fans have already flocked to pubs and beer gardens across Greater Manchester ahead of the match.
