Ed Sheeran leads England's famous cheerleaders ahead of EURO 2024 final

Ed Sheeran and Kate Beckinsale are among the stars who have sent good luck messages to the England men's football team before the EURO 2024 final on Sunday night.

England are playing Spain in the final in Berlin, with the men's team hoping to win their first major title since the 1966 World Cup. During the tournament, Gareth Southgate's side have experienced their fair share of scares and criticism, but overcame the Netherlands in the semi-final to set up Sunday's big match.

In a video made for the BBC, Ed, who was spotted in the stands at the semi-final and performed for the squad during the tournament, said, "Everything is coming together at the right point," before adding, "It's coming home."

Donning an England top, Kate recited her own football-themed version of the Lord's Prayer, saying: "Give this day our jammy (lucky) win and forgive us for criticising your tactics."

Other stars who contributed included Craig David who sang "we got the Euros in our hands" to the team from his recording studio, Stephen Fry, and Patrick Stewart, who said he is "optimistic" ahead of the game.

English music stars Little Simz, Mabel, Sam Smith, and Jess Glynne also wished the team good luck in the video.

There was even an Australian A-Lister who is getting behind England - despite the two nations' sporting rivalry - as Hugh Jackman took time out from promoting Deadpool & Wolverine to predict a 3-1 England win.

The final kicks off at 8 pm British Summer Time.
