Jordan Pickford’s wife Megan Davison put on a lavish surprise party as he came back to Merseyside on Tuesday night.

A whole host of mates and relatives gathered in a big marquee to await Jordan's arrival and he walked into the party to the sounds of Sweet Caroline, the Neil Diamond classic that became England's adopted anthem for Euro 2020.

The marquee was decorated in Welcome Home Jordan banners with guests, including Megan, all wearing masks with his face on.

Harry Kane’s wife, Kate, 27, decked out their £17million London mansion with an array of red and white balloon displays to pay tribute to his incredible dedication to the England team.

Kate also adorned the balloons with some sparkling ribbon which emulated the colours of the England flag perfectly.

The proud wife, who shares three children with the football legend, decorated their home with a number of embellished balloon that read ‘Welcome Home Daddy. We love you’.

In another sweet photo, Kate and Harry's two youngsters clutch on to the incredible balloon display while sporting their England jerseys.

In the caption, Kate gushed over her husband and his amazing teammates who bound the country together after a tough year and a half.

She said: "I’m gutted. Not only for Harry but for the rest of the squad and the country who have had a rough ride in the last 18 months.

"We came so close and couldn’t quite get over the line but it's been such a privilege to be a part of an amazing journey which has united the country in an incredible way. Under the deflated feeling is one of overwhelming pride.

"Proud of Harry, proud of how the squad conducted themselves, and proud to tell my three kids about Euro 2020 and what their daddy was such a big part of.

"As H said, racism has no place on social media or in society - you aren’t an England fan and we don’t want you. Bring on the World Cup."

Harry Maguire's wife Fern Hawkins also organised an amazing party in their back garden to welcome him home.

Fern took to Instagram to share a sneak peek inside the welcome home party, and it looked as though the atmosphere was buzzing.

Fern erected a marquee in their lawn and decked it out with a selection of red and white balloons, fairy lights, England bunting, and a huge neon sign which read ‘Our Champ’.

Fern pulled out all the stops as she decorated the space with football-themed balloons and others that read ‘Daddy, you are our champion’.

Harry, who is a proud dad to daughters Lillie Saint, 2, and Piper Rose, 1, was also treated to a slap-up barbeque as juicy burgers and hot dogs were on offer at the amazing buffet.

Fern also treated her guests to England-themed doughnuts, blue margaritas, and an open bar with a selection of spirits and beers.

Elsewhere, Kalvin Phillips arrived home to a giant mural which read, 'Welcome Home Kalvin'.

The amazing tribute mural was complete with Leeds and England crests.

The football star's lavish house was also decorated with a huge '14' balloon - which is a heartfelt gesture to his England squad number.

Declan Rice was also greeted by a selection of his nearest and dearest upon his arrival home after the gruelling six weeks.

The football favourite enjoyed a cuddle with his beloved pooch Raffa as he settled back into home life after the whirlwind tournament.
