School renames itself after England star Harry Kane following Euro 2020 semi-final glory

Howard Junior School has renamed itself Harry Kane Junior School for the day in light of England's success at Euro 2020.

The Tottenham striker has managed four goals in England's three knockout stage games so far, firing England to their first major tournament final since 1966.

The school – which has become renowned for its support during the tournament – went viral earlier this month as a video of the children singing Three Lions was viewed more than 100,000 times on social media.

Pupils at the school in King's Lynn, Norfolk, were then pictured wearing masks of the England captain to celebrate Wednesday's semi-final win over Denmark.

The school's headmaster Greg Hill attended the same school as Kane in Chingford, and has been more than happy to encourage support for the Three Lions from his students.

He told the BBC : "We truly believe football is coming home."

Hill also stated the atmosphere with the pupils had been "building and building" throughout the tournament, and "the children are getting more and more excited."
