EXCITEMENT is building ahead of England's quarter final clash.

Fans are awaiting the 8pm kick-off as England take on Ukraine in the Euros. 

Gareth Southgate's side look to reach their second semi-final in as many tournaments.

The team already knows who they will face if they win tonight after Denmark's victory against the Czech Republic.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, many pubs and venues which are showing the match have been fully booked for days.

It might not be the best weather in the North-East this evening but it hasn't stopped some fans from getting in the spirit.

And many more are watching from their home, including some of our far-flung readers in Christchurch, New Zealand and Accra, Ghana.
