England Play Denmark In The Euro 2020 Semi-Final

Calls for a bank holiday, late starts at workplaces across the country and even the return of mystic meerkats predicting football results: England has gone football-crazy, and we haven’t even won anything yet.

The latest to join the party was the band of the Coldstream Guards – who this morning performed a special rendition of one of England’s unofficial anthems, Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline.
