Pubs in England will be allowed to stay open longer on Sunday in case the Euro 2020 final goes into extra time and penalties, Downing Street has said.

The prime minister's official spokesman said: "We are taking forward plans to allow pubs to open until 11.15pm on Sunday.

"The entire nation has been gripped by the Euros and this will ensure people can come together to enjoy the final in pubs, should they wish to do so."

Meanwhile, Kensington Palace has announced that the Duke of Cambridge will attend England's hotly-anticipated semi-final match against Denmark on Wednesday evening.

Prince William, who is president of the Football Association, will join 60,000 football fans to cheer on the Three Lions at Wembley Stadium as they look to reach their first major tournament final since 1966.

Do we have to thank our masters for this rare treat?

Yes by the tax on drink no less

What an absolute joke :joker:

Yes

I would love Italy to win it, but to be honest I'd be just as happy for England to win.
I might go and watch this at the pub.

No it's not a good idea in my view.

Let people enjoy it. I don’t watch it but a lot of people will

if they didn't allow it, it would encourage home gatherings and that would take much needed revenue away from the hospitality industry, so it was never going to be anything else

common sense

Yes good decision :clap1:
