A BIG screen will be set up in Colchester's city centre where nervous Euros fans can watch to see if the Lions can bring it home.
As the city nervously prepares for Sunday’s Euro 2024 final in Berlin, football fanatics will have plenty of choice of where to watch the game.
The Vacay Bar, in Lion Walk Shopping Centre, will be transformed into a fan zone for the night.
There will be a big live screen put up as well as street food and drinks on offer.
The bar will also be providing all day entertainment with match and live commentary.
Martin Leatherdale, Lion Walk Shopping Centre Manager, said: "The atmosphere from last night against the Netherlands was simply electric.
“Everyone was completely focussed until the brilliance of the last minute, when we erupted into applause and cheers.
“Our DJ topped it off with a massive rendition of Sweet Caroline that had everyone singing at the top of their lungs. We can't wait to see you all this Sunday."
The Marquis, in North Hill, is preparing for the big match.
A spokesman said: “We are so glad we got through to the final.
"We book out all the tables that have a direct view and we have other tables which are on a first come first serve basis without a direct view of the screen."
Rukia El-Busaid, who is part of management at The Centurion Colchester, said: “We are fully booked besides outside which isn’t table booking.
“We know it will be a busy shift, but it will be so nice to see England win and to see everyone happy.”
