The Queen and Boris Johnson have led messages of support to the England team ahead of the Euro 2020 final.

The monarch recalled presenting the World Cup trophy to Bobby Moore in 1966 as she praised the current team's "spirit, commitment and pride with which you have conducted yourselves".

And in a letter to the squad, the prime minister said they had "lifted the spirits of the whole country".

The Duke of Cambridge said he "can't really believe this is happening".

Prince William, who is president of the English Football Association, urged the squad to "bring it home" and said the team had already displayed "the very best of England".

Gareth Southgate's team play Italy at Wembley on Sunday at 20:00 BST.
